Wilson Disease

Wilson disease, also known as hepatolenticular degeneration, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by gene mutations, leading to abnormal copper accumulation in the liver, brain, cornea, and other organs. Wilson disease primarily presents with hepatic and neuropsychiatric symptoms, including jaundice, liver failure, tremors, mood changes, and movement disorders. This course explores Wilson disease, including the recommended diagnostic studies, pathophysiology, associated complications, and emerging therapies, eg, novel chelators and gene therapies under investigation. Timely recognition and lifelong management of this condition is essential as Wilson disease can be fatal, particularly due to acute liver failure if untreated. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in identifying Wilson disease, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition.
