A friend of mine has Wilson's Disease (hepatolenticular degeneration).
Does anyone know where can she find a good specialist doctor in this
disease? She lives in China; however, she may have to go abroad to see
a doctor.
This is some information of the patient:
The patient is a 27 years old woman. She has been diagnosed about two
years ago. She has quite a lot symptom with her head; however, her
liver seems ok. After two years treatment, the content of copper in her
urine is close to normal. The medicine she used include:
1. Copper removing: dimercaptosuccinic acid(DMSA), Sodium
dimercaptosulphonate(DMPS), penicillamine(PCA)
2. Resist the absorption of copper: zinc gluconate
3. Low copper diet
4. Trihexyphenidyl ,Benzhexol, Artane, Pargitam; Clonazepam, Clonopin,
Iktorivil, Rivotril
5. Fixing brain nerve: brain protein hydrolyte injection in vein. GM-1
Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside is also going to be used.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
