Management of Wilson Disease

About this book

Later chapters cover treatment monitoring, children and other special circumstances, liver transplantation, research participation, and the social and emotional impact on patients and families, partly written with the Wilson Disease Association. Suited to hepatologists, neurologists and general physicians.
