[Wilson's disease - interdisciplinary networking, better treatment].

Abstract

Morbus Wilson is a rare disease - if detected and treated early, the prognosis is favorable. Symptom freedom and a normal life expectancy are realistic treatment goals. If treatment starts too late, there are often functional impairments, also relevant in everyday life. If left untreated, the disease is fatal. Known as a "chameleon disease," Morbus Wilson is an important differential diagnosis in many medical specialties.
