Hereditary copper intoxication: symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Hereditary copper toxicity (Wilson's disease) results in accumulation of copper in the liver and other organs. Liver or neurologic symptoms develop. Diagnosis is based on low serum ceruloplasmin, high urinary copper excretion, and sometimes liver biopsy. Treatment is chelation, usually with penicillamine.

Acquired copper intoxication: symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Acquired copper intoxication results from consuming or absorbing excess amounts of copper (for example, consuming foods or drinks that have been stored in copper containers for a long time).

Acquired and inherited copper deficiency

Approximately half of the copper consumed is absorbed. Copper that is absorbed in excess of metabolic needs is excreted in the bile. Copper is a component of many body proteins; almost all copper in the body is bound to proteins.
