Outcomes of Acute Liver Injury in Adults Due to Wilson’s Disease: Is Survival Without Transplant Possible?
Michelle A. Camarata, Michelle Gottfried, Jody A. Rule, Aftab Ala, William M. Lee, R. Todd Stravitz, Michael L. Schilsky – 14 December 2019 – Wilson’s disease (WD) is a rare cause of acute liver failure (ALF) that is thought to have a uniformly fatal outcome without liver transplantation (LT). Previous studies proposed diagnostic and prognostic criteria for WD‐ALF. It is not known whether these apply to WD patients presenting as severe acute liver injury (ALI) without encephalopathy.
