“…Diminished biliary copper excretion alone can therefore satisfactorily account for the positive copper balance of Wilson's disease. It should be noted that the difference of approximately 600,ug/day between the biliary copper excretion rates of normal subjects and Wilson's disease patients is very much higher than the 50 jig/day positive balance postulated as being sufficient to account for the copper retention in Wilson's disease (Scheinberg and Sternlieb, 1965). However, the increased copper excretion in urine in the later stages of the disease will substantially reduce the net positive copper balance.…”

“…This explanation is supported by the demonstration, using external probe counting, of an apparent inability of the liver to discharge ff4Cu or 67CU (Tauxe et al, 1968a), and also by the finding of a diminished concentration of radiocopper in the duodenal bile of patients with Wilson's disease (O'Reilly et al, 1971). However, all these results are explicable on the basis of the radioisotope entering a much enlarged pool of copper in the liver (Sass-Kortsak, 1965;Scheinberg and Sternlieb, 1965) and therefore a much smaller proportion being excreted into bile. It is evident that these studies do not give unequivocal evidence that the absolute quantity of copper excreted into bile by the liver in Wilson's disease is diminished.…”

“…But, during early ages, the patients are mostly presymptomatic. The worldwide prevalence was reported to be 1 in 30,000 (2). According to literature findings, psychiatric symptoms associated with WD have been divided into four areas, including the personality changes, affective and psychotic disorders, and cognitive impairment (3,4).…”

“…Because, WD is one of the few curable disorders provided; it is diagnosed and treated early. Diagnosis of WD is often made clinically by the presence of Kayser-Fleischer (KF) rings, adjacent to cornea, low levels of serum ceruloplasmin (alpha-2 globulin, a serum glycoprotein), elevated concentrations of copper in the cerebrospinal fluid, and hyper intensities in the basal ganglia and thalamus of the brain (1,2). KF ring is present in 99% of neuropsychiatric patients (6).…”
