He has been diagnosed with Wilson's disease. Is there any treatment available for this condition?

Asked by Female, 39 · 11 days ago

Wilson's disease is a long-term condition where copper builds up in the body due to a problem in removing it, but treatment is available and can control it well. Doctors usually give medicines that help remove excess copper or reduce its absorption, and these need to be taken regularly for life. A low-copper diet and regular follow-up tests are also important for keeping the condition stable. With early and proper treatment, many people can lead a normal life and avoid serious complications.
