| Core Tip |
We present an 11-year-old boy with Wilson disease (WD) who developed osteoarthritis symptoms and acute liver failure, with a New Wilson Index Score (NWIS) of 12. His liver cirrhosis improved, leading to almost normal liver function and liver imaging results, one year after receiving combination therapy with Zn and a chelator. Patients with WD with a NWIS > 11 may be able to survive with treatment with Zn and chelators, without liver transplantation, in cases wherein they present with mild hyperbilirubinemia and stage ≤ II hepatic encephalopathy. Symptoms of associated osteoarthritis may also improve with long-term Zn and chelator therapy. |
