Complimenting the expert clinicians is the comprehensive care we offer from diagnosis to treatment and complete rehabilitation. Wilson Disease is curable. However, today people with Wilson Disease suffer considerable disability due to delay in diagnosis and inadequate treatment.
Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital is proud to introduce a comprehensive clinic that is devoted to the treatment and care of people with Wilson Disease and their families. The aim of the Wilson Disease Clinic is to ensure that no person in India goes undiagnosed or untreated.
The Wilson Disease Clinic offers a comprehensive care program including neurology and liver specialist consultation, physical and cognitive rehabilitation, psychotherapy, speech therapy and gait training. Since Wilson Disease is a familial disease we also offer family counselling services, screening of siblings and genetic counselling.
Specialised tests like serum ceruloplasmin, 24 hour urine copper and liver copper estimations are available. The hospital also offers facility of mailing-in of samples to support centres that do not have these test facilities.
This is useful to assess the extent of brain and liver injury from excessive copper deposition.
In some people, the diagnosis of Wilson disease requires a procedure called a liver biopsy, wherein, a thin needle is inserted through the skin & into the liver under ultrasound guidance (USG) and a small sample of liver tissue is drawn out. This sample is then sent to the laboratory to test for excess copper.
Liver Clinic:This is a part of the hepatology (liver) department and provides specialised treatment for patients with severe liver failure or cirrhosis.

We believe that a better understanding of the disease paves the way for early diagnosis, appropriate and timely treatment, improved compliance and better doctor patient interaction.
Kokilaben Hospital offers genetic counselling services to patients with Wilson disease to assess the risk of passing the disease to their children.
A blood test called DNA Analysis can identify the genetic defects that cause Wilson Disease. This test is available at a limited number of medical centres and is done using a small sample of blood drawn from a person’s arm or collected from a finger prick. This test can be useful in diagnosing Wilson Disease.
People with Wilson Disease can develop serious complications if they contract liver infection (hepatitis). To prevent the likelihood of developing liver infection the Wilson Disease Clinic offers vaccination for Hepatitis A & B to all persons with Wilson Disease as well as their brothers and sisters.
