Article Synopsis
- The study investigates urinary copper excretion and serum copper levels in patients with Wilson disease over a long period, highlighting inconsistencies in results.
- Data from 321 patients were reviewed to assess the effectiveness of treatments like D-penicillamine and zinc over time, measuring copper levels at various intervals.
- Findings suggest that while urinary copper excretion decreases with treatment, the variability in results means these measurements are not ideal for monitoring therapy effectiveness, although urinary levels are more reliable than non-caeruloplasmin associated copper concentrations.
