Wilson disease is hereditary disorder of copper metabolism, based on defect of cooper excretion, which leads to accumulation of cooper in the liver and brain. This disease is one of the most difficult to diagnose. Without treatment disease brings to early disability and lethal outcome. In the

We evaluated long-term outcomes for patients with Wilson disease (WD) after liver transplantation (LT) and searched for risk factors of poor survival.Retrospective analysis of UNOS/OPTN data identified 156 pediatric and 515 adult cases of LT for WD between

Copper-transporting ATPase 2 (ATP7B) is essential for mammalian copper homeostasis. Mutations in ATP7B result in copper accumulation, especially in the liver, and cause Wilson disease (WD). The major role of hepatocytes in WD pathology is firmly established. It is less certain whether the excess Cu

The essential transition metal copper is important in lipid metabolism, redox balance, iron mobilization, and many other critical processes in eukaryotic organisms. Genetic diseases where copper homeostasis is disrupted, including Menkes disease and Wilson disease, indicate the importance of copper

Hepatic encephalopathy is frequently accompanied by reversible cognitive impairment, while chronic acquired hepatocerebral degeneration is a rare irreversible neurological disorder in patients with liver cirrhosis, characterized by parkinsonism and cognitive decline. Patients with Wilson disease can

The presence of steatosis and inflammatory infiltrate in liver biopsies is essential for the diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These findings are similar to those with alcoholic liver disease. However, in the NASH-situation alcohol doesn't play an important role. Risk factors for

BACKGROUND
The widespread use of routine biochemical assays has led to increased incidental findings of hypertransaminasemia. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of different causes of raised aminotransferase levels in children referred to a university department of pediatrics.
METHODS
We

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is increasingly prevalent in children, together with obesity. Transaminases, tests for insulin resistance, ultrasonography and MRI are variably used as surrogates markers of steatosis. Other liver diseases, such as Wilson disease, should be excluded. A liver biopsy

A 65-year-old woman of normal weight, hospitalized because of pleuritis, was found to have chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance 20 ml/min). Renal biopsy (light and electron-microscopy) revealed nodular glomerulosclerosis (Kimmerstiel-Wilson disease), described as a diabetes-specific renal

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver disease whose hallmark is the accumulation of large-droplet fat in hepatocytes. This metabolic disorder occurs mainly in overweight or obese individuals. The disease mechanism involves hyperinsulinemia and hepatic insulin resistance,

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Primary hepatocellular carcinoma can be found most frequently (80-90 %) in patients with liver cirrhosis. The most frequent causes of liver cirrhosis are chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections and

Caloric restriction mimetics (CRMs) are nontoxic macroautophagy/autophagy enhancers that act through the stimulation of cytoplasmic protein deacetylation reactions. Thus far, three functional classes of CRMs have been described: inhibitors of acetyltransferases (such as spermidine), inhibitors of
