Wilson Disease provides a comprehensive guide on this inherited genetic disorder that has devastating consequences for both the liver and neurologic/psychiatric health. This disease is of increasing interest to neurologists, hepatologists, and geneticists, but when the disease is diagnosed early, it is treatable, with patients living normal lives.

Produktbeschreibung
Wilson Disease provides a comprehensive guide on this inherited genetic disorder that has devastating consequences for both the liver and neurologic/psychiatric health. This disease is of increasing interest to neurologists, hepatologists, and geneticists, but when the disease is diagnosed early, it is treatable, with patients living normal lives.

This volume describes the molecular pathophysiology of WD and the clinical and pathological effects of copper. Separate sections address both diagnosis and medical and surgical approaches to treatment. Both adult and pediatric perspectives on diagnosis and treatment are addressed, and a section on genetics highlights advances in molecular diagnostics. Patient support groups that can aid in coping with this disease are also discussed, as are animal models for those interested in basic research on cell biology, pathophysiology, and treatment.
Autorenporträt
Anna Czlonkowska MD Prof earned her Diploma of Medicine at Warsaw Medical Academy before she completed her Doctor of Medicine at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, Warsaw. She received additional training at the Boards of Clinical Neurology at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw and Habilitation in Neurology at the Warsaw Medical Academy. She has also received several prestigious fellowships, ranging from a British Council Grant for Neuroimmunology to a Neurobiology Fellowship funded by a Max Planck Society Grant. Between 1985-2013, she served as Professor and Head of the Second Department of Neurology at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw. She currently is the professor in this department and Head of the Study Group at the Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, Medical University of Warsaw. Additionally, Czlonkowska served as a member of the International Consortium at EUROWILSON. Since 1969, Czlonkowska has not only cared

for a large cohort of 850 patients with Wilsons Disease, created a research database to document their clinical features and evaluate the clinical course of WD (with a focus on the efficacy of current therapies), but has also completed basic research on the pathogenesis of WD. She collaborates with WD centers across Europe.). Her contributions to clinical science extend well beyond Wilson's Disease and she has been active in research and clinical trials in stroke, multiple sclerosis and neurorehabilitation. Finally, Czlonkowska has supported the career development of many young clinicians and clinical academics whose success owes much to her leadership and support.
