Wilson disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism characterized by an excessive accumulation of copper in many organs, particularly liver and brain. Mortality rate of patients with fulminant hepatic failure is expected to be 100 %, if the patients can not be transplanted.
