This causes a variety of effects, including liver disease and damage to the nervous system. Central Nervous System Copper Urine Test Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder. If both parents carry an abnormal gene for Wilson's disease, there is a 25% chance that each of their children will develop the disorder (i.e., it is an autosomal recessive disease). Wilson's disease causes the body to absorb and retain excessive amounts of copper. The copper deposits in the liver, brain, kidneys, and the eyes. The deposits of copper cause tissue damage, death of the tissues, and scarring, which causes the affected organs to stop functioning properly. Liver failure and damage to the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) are the most predominant, and the most dangerous, effects of the disorder.

11. Wilson's Disease (Hepatolenticular Degeneration) Wilson s Disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is a genetic disorder that is fatal unless detected and treated before serious illness develops from copper http://www.geocities.com/nutriflip/Diseases/WilsonsDisease.html

Go Back Wilson's Disease (Hepatolenticular Degeneration) Wilson's Disease (Hepatolenticular Degeneration) is a genetic disorder that is fatal unless detected and treated before serious illness develops from copper poisoning. Wilson's Disease affects one in thirty thousand people world wide. The genetic defect causes excessive copper accumulation. Small amounts of copper are essential as vitamins. Copper is present in most foods, and most people get much more than they need. Healthy people excrete copper they don't need, but Wilson's Disease patients cannot. The gene for Wilson's disease (ATP7B) was mapped to chromosome 13. The sequence of the gene was found to be similar to sections of the gene defective in Menkes disease, another disease caused by defects in copper transport. The liver of a person who has Wilson's disease does not release copper into bile as it should. Bile is a liquid produced by the liver that helps with digestion. As the intestines absorb copper from food, the copper builds up in the liver and injures liver tissue. Eventually, the damage causes the liver to release the copper directly into the bloodstream, which carries the copper throughout the body. The copper buildup leads to damage in the kidneys, brain, and eyes. If not treated, Wilson's disease can cause severe brain damage, liver failure, and death. Symptoms usually appear between the ages of 6 and 20 years, but can begin as late as age 40. The most characteristic sign is the Kayser-Fleischer ringa rusty brown ring around the cornea of the eye that can be seen only through an eye exam. Other signs depend on whether the damage occurs in the liver, blood, central nervous system, urinary system, or musculoskeletal system. Many signs would be detected only by a doctor, like swelling of the liver and spleen; fluid buildup in the lining of the abdomen; anemia; low platelet and white blood cell count in the blood; high levels of amino acids, protein, uric acid, and carbohydrates in urine; and softening of the bones. Some symptoms are more obvious, like jaundice, which appears as yellowing of the eyes and skin; vomiting blood; speech and language problems; tremors in the arms and hands; and rigid muscles.

19. Wilson's Disease Hepatolenticular Degeneration - Patient UK Wilson s Disease is a genetic disorder in which copper builds up in the body, mainly in the liver and brain. Without treatment, the build up of copper http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068935/

Wilson's Disease Hepatolenticular Degeneration Wilson's Disease is a genetic disorder in which copper builds up in the body, mainly in the liver and brain. Without treatment, the build up of copper causes serious illness, eventually causing death. Treatment is with medication to remove the excess copper and/or to prevent a further build up of copper. What is Wilson's disease? Wilson's disease is an condition where too much copper builds up in the body. It is a rare inherited disorder that affects about 1 in 30,000 people. It is named after Dr Samual Wilson who first described the disorder in 1912. If you inherit the genetic fault in Wilson’s disease, your body is not able to get rid of copper. Copper is a 'trace metal' which is in many foods. You need tiny amounts of copper to remain healthy. Normally, the body gets rid of any excess copper. People with Wilson's disease cannot get rid of excess copper and so it builds up in the body, mainly in the liver, the brain, the cornea and kidneys. Too much copper in the liver cells (the hepatocytes) is harmful and leads to liver damage. Damage to brain tissue mainly occurs in an area called the lenticular nucleus. Hence, Wilson's disease is also called 'Hepatolenticular Degeneration'. If left untreated, the damage becomes severe and eventually fatal. What causes Wilson's disease?
