Abstract

Liver transplantation for hepatic complications of Wilson's disease cures and corrects the underlying metabolic defect and leads to long-term survival in patients who present with either acute or chronic liver disease. Acute renal failure develops frequently in patients with fulminant Wilsonian hepatitis and typically resolves postoperatively.
