Article Synopsis
- Wilson disease (WD) is a rare genetic disorder that disrupts copper metabolism, requiring lifelong medication to prevent severe complications like liver failure; the study evaluated the efficacy and safety of three treatments: D-penicillamine (DPA), trientine, and zinc in children.
- The analysis included 90 patients, excluding those who had liver transplants, and revealed that treatment ineffectiveness was most common with trientine, followed by zinc and DPA.
- The findings indicated that while all three treatments are effective for pediatric WD, DPA and zinc have more adverse effects compared to trientine, suggesting that trientine may be the safer choice.
