Abstract
In 4 young pediatric patients with presymptomatic Wilson disease, we found zinc monotherapy beginning at time of diagnosis to be safe and highly effective for follow-up intervals between 1 and 2 years. Such maintenance therapy with zinc can maintain urinary copper excretion between 1 and 3 μg · kg(-1) · day.Entities:
