PhD-student at Aarhus University Hospital. 64-copper PET & Wilson Disease.
Read my latest paper on trientine in Wilson Disease:

[Frederik Teicher Kirk @ForskerFrede]

Trientine and Penicillamine on copper uptake:
🔸Oral 64-Cu PET/CT
🔸TRI reduced 64-Cu intestinal uptake 50%!
🔸Similar to Zinc [Munk et al]

🔸Time for separate 24H-urine copper targets for TRI monitoring?

What do we actually know about European Management of #WilsonDisease? Thanks to our latest paper in @ojrarediseases we now know a bit more!

🔎 Rather high level of uniformity in care!
🔸 Variations in e.g. Initial treatment of non-hepatic WD, diet restrictions and more! @HepGas

Diagnosing #WilsonDisease in #AcuteLiverFailure

✅ ALF of unknown ethiology
✅ If low ALT, measure total serum copper
✅ If s-Cu-ALT = 2 or more ASSUME WD
✅ While LTx is prepared, perform genetic testing

💡Relative Exchangeable Copper: an excellent tool for diagnosing Wilson Disease!
💡Total Serum Copper: Surprisingly solid tool as well!
🌞Very happy to be part of this big collaborative effort with our friends from Spain!

#WilsonAarhus symposium - How to screen for #WilsonDisease in the future?
Dr Hahn (Seattle) on prospects and newest knowledge in this critical field.

Atp7b peptide screening in newborns looks very promising!

Screening = early detection = better patient outcomes!

First day of the #WilsonAarhus symposium!
Cognitive function in WD:
⁃Cognition = QoL
⁃Also in some with hepatic WD
⁃Often improves on chelation therapy
⁃Tips on how physicians can help people with cognitive issues.

Thank you @shribbers
