Keywords:
Hepatolenticular degeneration, Hemolytic anemia, Ceruloplasmin.Abstract
Wilson Disease (WD) is a recessive autosomal disorder in copper metabolism. A hepatic cirrhosis and hemolytic anemia is reported due to WD, in an female adolescent of age 13, with family antecedent of a sister with WD. She debuts presenting what seems to be a urinary infection, leukocyturia, hematuria, together with skin and mucosas icterus, mild hepatomegaly, vomits and generalized state of disease, reason why she requires pediatric intensive care for five days. Complementary analysis were carried out, compatibles with severe hemolytic anemia, HB. 53 g/L, Hto. 0.17i/L, reticulocytosis of 180X103, negative Coombs test, coagulogram alterations, and mild elevation of aminotransferases. The hepatic study show ciphers of ceruloplasmin in 0.07 g/L, copper in basal urine 9.13 µmol per day, copper in hepatic tissue 9,54 µg/g in dry tissue, Kayser Fleischer Ring in slit lamp, laparoscopy with aspect of a micronodular hepatic cirrhosis and liver biopsy with a secondary micronodular cirrhosis to a WD. The WD diagnosis should be taken into account in all children with a crhonic liver disease or torpid evoluction whose etiology is not clear, so that the normally later neurologic compromise may be avoided.Downloads
