초록
Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting copper transport; it results in the accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, and other organs. Wilson’s disease is the most common inherited liver disease with more than 500cases reported in Korea. An impairment in biliary excretion process leads to copper accumulation in the liver, which progressively damages the liver, leading to cirrhosis. Since effective treatment is available for this disease, early and correct diagnosis is very important. Here, we report a case of Wilson’s disease with mildly elevated liver enzyme levels in a 29-yearold breast-feeding woman with weight loss.
