註釋

Wilson's Disease, an inherited copper toxicosis, is a condition that affects the central nervous system and liver, and appears in childhood or early adulthood. Though the condition is rare, it is vital that the physician is aware of its clinical manifestations, since treatments can be very successful if instituted before irreversible organ damage has occurred. Here, Tjaard Hoogenraad gives a comprehensive guide to effective early diagnosis and treatment of Wilson's Disease, using a series of fascinating case studies to bring out the nuances of effective patient management. In addition, he provides an in-depth review of current information on the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease, plus practical guidance on the new diagnostic tests and therapies that have arisen from the latest scientific data. Drawing on his own extensive experience with Wilson's Disease patients, and presenting an informed perspective on all the literature available on this topic, Dr Hoogenraad has produced the most complete and up-to-date clinically oriented monograph currently available on this disease.
