What WILSON'S DISEASE means: Wilson's Disease - (WD) is a rare inherited disorder in which excessive amounts of copper accumulate in the body. The buildup of copper leads to damage in the kidneys, brain, and eyes. Although copper accumulation begins at birth, symptoms of the disorder appear later in life. The most characteristic symptom of WD is the Kayser-Fleisher ring - a rusty brown ring around the cornea of the eye. WD requires lifelong treatment, generally using drugs to remove excess copper from the body and to prevent it from re- accumulating.
