Understanding Wilson Disease and its Detection through Wilson Disease Panel Test
Wilson disease is a genetic disorder that causes the excessive accumulation of copper in the liver, brain, and other organs of the body. This condition is caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene that controls the body’s ability to metabolize and remove copper from the body. If left untreated, Wilson disease can lead to severe liver and brain damage, and in some cases, it can be fatal.
Symptoms of Wilson Disease
The symptoms of Wilson disease can vary from person to person, and they may not appear until the teenage years or early adulthood. Some of the common symptoms of Wilson disease include:
- Jaundice
- Fatigue
- Abdominal pain and swelling
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Tremors
- Difficulty speaking or swallowing
- Depression and anxiety
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Early detection and treatment of Wilson disease can help prevent serious complications and improve your quality of life.
Diagnosis of Wilson Disease
The diagnosis of Wilson disease can be challenging, as the symptoms can be similar to those of other liver and neurological disorders. Your doctor may perform a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging studies to rule out other conditions and confirm a diagnosis of Wilson disease.
The Wilson disease panel test is a specialized blood test that can detect genetic mutations associated with Wilson disease. This test can be used to confirm a diagnosis of Wilson disease and to identify family members who may be at risk of developing the condition.
Cost of Wilson Disease Panel Test
The cost of the Wilson disease panel test in India is approximately INR 5500. The cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory where the test is performed.
Conclusion
Wilson disease is a serious genetic disorder that can lead to severe liver and neurological damage if left untreated. If you are experiencing symptoms of Wilson disease, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. The Wilson disease panel test can help confirm a diagnosis of Wilson disease and identify family members who may be at risk of developing the condition. The cost of the Wilson disease panel test is reasonable, and it is a valuable tool in the early detection and treatment of Wilson disease.

Our team of experienced professionals uses the latest technology and techniques to provide accurate and reliable results. Contact us today to learn more about our Wilson disease panel test and other genetic testing services.
Diagnosing Wilson’s disease can be challenging because its signs and symptoms are often indistinguishable from those of other liver diseases, such as Hepatitis. Low serum copper & ceruloplasmin with high urinary copper is diagnostic of Wilson disease.
