Wilson's disease: a brief review.
Kust Med J Jan ;3(1):24-7.

Although first described in the early 1900s, the pathogenesis of Wilson’s disease was identified in the mid- 1900s. It is an inherited error of copper metabolism that predominantly presents with hepatic and/or neurological manifestations. Hepatic form of Wilson’s disease can have varied presentations from acute hepatitis to liver cirrhosis and end stage liver disease necessitating liver transplantation. In addition to the liver and brain other organs like eyes, kidneys and bones are frequently involved. Although infrequent, Wilson’s disease is not rare in Neuromedicine, Hepatology and Ophthalmology practices. Chelation therapy remains the mainstay of treatment and several copper chelating agents are now available.
