ABSTRACT
Wilson's disease (WD) encompasses diverse clinical symptoms involving the liver, nervous system, and kidneys. The fundamental cause of this condition is the build-up of copper in organs, mainly the hepatic and brain parenchyma. Here, we are reporting the hospital presentation of a male patient in his 20s who had been experiencing severe irritability, abdominal pain, distension, and yellowish discoloration of the skin for the previous 75 days. Upon examination of blood pressure, a refractory carpopedal spasm was found in him. In addition to Kayser-Fleischer (KF) rings in his cornea, he exhibited elevated 24-hour urine copper and serum ceruloplasmin (CP). He was diagnosed as a case of WD with a rare association of hypoparathyroidism.
