Wilson Disease
Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which the body cannot properly eliminate copper, so this mineral builds up progressively, especially in the liver and the nervous system. Over time, that excess can damage the tissues where it is deposited.
Common symptoms: Tiredness, yellowing of the skin, abdominal discomfort, and, in some cases, tremors, movement changes, or behavioral changes may appear.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable with signs of liver involvement or unexplained neurological symptoms, especially when there is a family history.
Which specialist treats it? Gastroenterology handles the study of the liver and coordinates the follow-up of this disease. Seeing a professional makes it possible to confirm the diagnosis and plan long-term care in an individualized way.
