Wilson disease

Wilson disease is a very rare inherited multisystemic disease presenting non-specific neurological, hepatic, psychiatric or osseo-muscular manifestations due to excessive copper deposition in the body.

Cirrhosis

A chronic disorder of the liver in which liver tissue becomes scarred and is partially replaced by regenerative nodules and fibrotic tissue resulting in loss of liver function.

Liver Transplant Can Resolve Severe Neuropsychiatric Manifestations of Wilson Disease: A Case Report.
Walker G, Hussaini T, Stowe R, Cresswell S, Yoshida EM.
Exp Clin Transplant. 2018;16(5):620-624.
Although liver transplant for decompensated cirrhosis secondary to Wilson disease is well accepted, the use of transplant for patients with severe neurologic manifestations of this condition remains controversial, and these can be perceived as a contraindication.

The first experience of non-interferon therapy of HCV infection in patients with Wilson-Konovalov's disease.
Rozina TP, Ignatova TM, Fastovets SV, Starostina EE, Samokhodskaia LM, Krasnova TN.
Ter Arkh. 2018;90(11):74-78.
In the article we present three clinical observations demonstrating that HCV infection in patients with remission of Wilson disease causes an recrudescence of the disease, in one of the observations - decompensation of liver cirrhosis.

Tacrolimus-induced thrombotic microangiopathy in orthotopic liver transplant patients: case series of four patients.
Nwaba A, MacQuillan G, Adams LA, Garas G, Delriviere L, Augustson B, DeBoer B, Moody H, Jeffrey GP.
Intern Med J. 2013;43(3):328-33.
The indications for OLTX in the four patients were fulminant hepatic failure in three (Wilson disease, paracetamol overdose and post-partum thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) and hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis.

Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disease that produces a copper accumulation in many organs, initially in the liver, progressing to liver cirrhosis, and in the brain, with different neurologic symptoms.

This report suggests that a disease akin to Indian childhood cirrhosis but different from Wilson disease can be found in non-Indian children probably representing a new, possibly inherited, disease of copper metabolism leading to copper overload in the liver.

b) the metabolic diseases resulting either in cirrhosis with liver failure (alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, Wilson disease, glycogen storage disease type I and IV, protoporphyria) or in extrahepatic complications of enzymatic deficiency of an otherwise normally functioning liver (Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I, familial hypercholesterolemia and perhaps oxalosis).
