Wilson's Disease in Children: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment | Dr. Vibhor Borkar

Описание: "Wilson's Disease is a rare inherited disorder that results in excess copper buildup in the liver, brain, and other vital organs. Copper is essential for the development of healthy nerves, bones, skin pigment (melanin), and collagen. Under normal conditions, copper is absorbed from food and excess amounts are eliminated through the liver. However, in Wilson's Disease, the body cannot effectively excrete excess copper, leading to toxic accumulation and damage to various organs.
