AI Article Synopsis
- * A key sign of this disease is the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings, which are deposits of copper around the cornea of the eye.
- * These rings are crucial for diagnosing Wilson's disease and highlight the disease's relationship with copper buildup in the body.
Article Abstract
Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder of copper metabolism that primarily manifests with hepatic and neurological features. Kayser-Fleischer rings (KF rings) are pathognomonic of Wilson's disease and helps in establishing its diagnosis.

An 11-year-old girl with quiescent ulcerative colitis had sustained elevation of liver enzymes. Although she had no clinical symptoms suggestive of Wilson's disease, such as Kayser-Fleischer rings, laboratory data showed decreased serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels and increased urinary copper excretion. Genetic testing showed pathogenic variants in allele 1: c.

Modern neuroimaging techniques have revealed the detrimental impact of air pollution on brain health, in particular the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of long-term (months to years) exposure to outdoor air pollutants on the development and progression of AD using neuroimaging data.

When systematic lupus erythematosus-like lab results (e.g., positive anti-double-stranded DNA antibody, low complement component 3) are inconsistent with physical findings, such as the absence of arthritis or nephritis, clinicians should consider diagnoses such as Wilson's disease, especially in the presence of abnormal liver function and elevated international normalized ratio (INR).
