'Copper deficiency appeared 17.4 ± 14 [min 5.8-max 33] years after initiation of WD treatment and was characterized by extremely low levels of serum copper, exchangeable copper and urinary copper excretion (respectively 0.36 ± 0.11; 0.22 ± 0.12; 0.09 ± 0.01 μmol/L) while serum and urinary zinc values were high (respectively 27.6 ± 3.4; 80.2 ± 23.4 μmol/L, see figure below). All patients showed an iron deficiency: low iron blood level (5.9 ± 1.25 μmol/L), elevated transferrin blood level (3.57 ± 0.44 g/L) and low iron-binding capacity (7.67 ± 1.53%).' #wilsonsdisease …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…
