Medical Services Treatment of Wilson's Disease at Mayo Clinic (Synonyms: hepatolenticular degeneration) Mayo Clinic offers state-of-the-art care for patients with Wilson's disease, including pre-symptomatic screening, molecular testing and up-to-date drug and dietary treatments. The goal is to identify the disease and begin treatment before symptoms cause serious problems. Mayo Clinic Rochester has a special Wilson's Disease Clinic which brings together specialists from genetics, hepatology, neurology, psychiatry, laboratory medicine and nutrition to provide comprehensive care for patients and their families. The Wilson's Disease Clinic is a recognized Center of Excellence by the Wilson's Disease Association. Diagnosis Some estimate that at least half of Wilson's disease patients are never diagnosed and die of untreated disease. It is important to diagnose Wilson's disease early, before severe damage occurs. Symptoms of Wilson's disease typically begin to appear from early childhood through the 20s, with liver symptoms usually occurring first. Mayo Clinic laboratories offer comprehensive testing including urinary tests, blood tests, DNA testing and family screening. Read more about diagnosis of Wilson's disease Treatment Options Treatment for Wilson's disease is effective if diagnosis occurs before the onset of life-threatening symptoms. Typically a combination of oral medications and dietary changes is needed to halt disease progress. If treatment is stopped, the disease can be fatal. In the case of acute liver failure, a

23. Liver Information: Hepatolenticular Degeneration Caused By Excessive Deposition USC Liver Transplant Surgery Program and Center for Liver Disease specializes in the surgical and medical management of the following disease entities http://www.surgery.usc.edu/divisions/hep/livernewsletter-wilsondisease.html

Wilson Disease Wilson disease, also referred to as hepatolenticular degeneration, is caused by excessive deposition of copper within the liver, the central nervous system predominately in the basal ganglia and putamen, kidney, placenta and cornea. Patients can present with a wide range of clinical symptoms including movement disorders, speech impediments, psychiatric disorders, renal dysfunction and hemolytic anemia. In the liver, excess copper can cause chronic hepatitis with subsequent cirrhosis and eventual liver failure. Accelerated hepatic injury associated with acute Wilsonian crisis can lead to rapid liver failure and commonly requires liver transplantation. Like hemochromatosis, excessive accumulation of a divalent metal, copper, results in chemical generation of reactive oxygen intermediates causing cellular injury and organ damage. In summary, Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disease caused by multiple mutations located throughout the WND gene. At this time, the diagnosis of Wilson disease is made by clinical and biochemical evidence of excess copper storage and not by genotyping studies. Haplotype analysis or screening for mutations identified in a Wilson disease patient can be used to identify siblings that may be carriers of the disease before occurrence of the clinical complication of excess copper storage.

The disease is progressive and, if left untreated, it may cause liver (hepatic) disease, central nervous system dysfunction, and death. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent serious long-term disability and life threatening complications. Treatment is aimed at reducing the amount of copper that has accumulated in the body and maintaining normal copper levels thereafter.

HEPATOLENTICULAR DEGENERATION - An inherited ( autosomal recessive ) disorder where there is excessive quantities of copper in the tissues, particularly the liver and central nervous system. Wilson's disease causes the body to absorb and retain copper. The copper deposits in the liver, brain, kidneys , and eyes. Complications include dementia and liver failure . Symptoms include jaundice vomiting , tremors, weakness, and slow stiff movements. Blood tests show serum ceruloplasmin is low. Medications are given to remove the excess copper from the body. Even with life-long treatment, disabling ( and life-threatening) side effects are common.

hepatolenticular degeneration Wilson's disease is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder first described by Kinnear-Wilson in 1912. In the 1940's the defect in copper metabolism was noted. It is characterised by: the accumulation of copper in the liver, basal ganglia, eye and other organs a low serum caeruloplasmin level In Wilson's disease there are two fundamental defects in the metabolism of copper: the rate of incorporation of copper into caeruloplasmin is reduced the rate of biliary excretion of copper is reduced Classically, patients present with neurological disturbance, hepatic cirrhosis and Kayser-Fleischer rings. The condition is treatable and all young patients with cirrhosis should be screened. Click here for more information...

Alternative Names: Hepatolenticular degeneration Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Wilson disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is a rare inherited disorder, affecting approximately 1 out of 1 million people. If both parents carry an abnormal gene for Wilson disease there is a 25% chance that each of their children will develop the disorder (i.e., Wilson is an autosomal recessive disease). It is most common in eastern Europeans, Sicilians, and southern Italians, but may occur in any group. The disorder most commonly appears in people under 40 years old. In children, the symptoms begin to be expressed by around 4 years old. Wilson 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

A hereditary degenerative disease in which a deficiency of ceruloplasmin causes copper to accumulate in the liver, brain, and other tissues. Causes of Hepatolenticular Degeneration Liver damage can lead to the accumulation of ammonia and other toxic materials when the organ doesn't function properly to metabolize and excrete them. Hepatocerebral degeneration and the neurological syndrome it causes may occur in any case of acquired liver failure including alcoholic hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, viral hepatitis, and others.

What is going on in the body? Wilson's disease is caused by a defect in an enzyme, or special protein. This enzyme normally helps the body get rid of extra copper. The amount of copper in a normal diet is more than the body needs. In people with Wilson's disease, the extra copper cannot be excreted from the body. The copper can damage the liver, brain, kidney, cornea, and other organs. What are the causes and risks of the disease? Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder. The children of parents who carry the gene for the disorder are at risk. The liver disease usually starts between ages 8 and 12, while the brain symptoms occur later in life.

Nothing can be done to prevent Wilson's disease in someone who has already been born. Genetic testing can determine whether someone has the gene for Wilson's disease. Genetic counseling is useful for people with a family history of the disease. What are the long-term effects of the disease? If untreated, Wilson's disease causes death. A delay in treatment can cause permanent brain damage, hepatitis , or cirrhosis . If treatment is started early and continued for life, there may be no long-term effects.
