A member asked:
How does wilson's disease eventually lead to leukemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: There is an increases risk for hepatocellular (liver) carcinoma. I am not aware of an increased leukemia risk. Copper deficiency can cause a myriad of hematologic manifestations. There have been case reports of patients with wilson's disease developing leukemia, but the thought was that they were unrelated. Hope this helps.
