Abstract

Wilson's disease is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper metabolism that causes various degrees of hepatic and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The condition is due to mutations in the ATP7B gene localized to arm 13q. The clinical signs are complex. The accumulation of copper in the brain causes tremor, dysartria and psychiatric problems. The deposits in the liver can lead to acute, chronic and progressive hepatitis and cirrhosis. Wilson's disease is the first liver disease for which an effective pharmacological treatment was found. In this paper, we gave particular importance to liver involvement in Wilson's disease and emphasized that the disease can be confused with metastatic liver diseases

Özet

Wilson hastalığı, değişik derecelerde hepatik ve nöropsikiyatrik hastalığa yol açan, insan bakır metabolizmasının otozomal resesif geçişli kalıtsal bir hastalığıdır. Wilson hastalığında hepatik bakır transport proteinini kodlayan ve bakır metabolizmasında önemli rolü olan 13. kromozom üzerindeki ATP7B geni etkilenmiştir. Klinik bulguları komplekstir. Tremor, dizartri, psikiyatrik bozukluklar gibi nörolojik semptomların yanı sıra akut karaciğer yetersizliği, kronik hepatit ya da karaciğer sirozu gelişir. Wilson hastalığı, farmakolojik olarak başarıyla tedavi edilen ilk karaciğer hastalığıdır. Bu vaka raporunda Wilson hastalığında karaciğer tutulumu ön planda sunulmuş olup, metastatik karaciğer hastalıklarıyla karışabileceği vurgulanmıştır
