What are some symptoms to wilson's disease? i am a vegetarian, is this likely for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wilson's disease: is a rare disorder of metabolism. The body accumulates copper. It is an inherited disorder. You have to get the gene from both parents. Symptoms are abdominal pain, swelling, jaundice, fluid build up in extremities and abdomen. Like I said, it's rare. And being a vegetarian has nothing to do with it.
