Wilson disease a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper metabolism, is characterized by excessive deposition of copper in the liver, brain, and other tissues. Wilson disease is often fatal if it is not recognized early and treated when it is symptomatic. Gitelman syndrome is also an autosomal recessive kidney disorder characterized by low blood levels of potassium and magnesium, decreased excretion of calcium in the urine, and elevated blood pH. Hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN-IV), a very rare condition that presents in infancy, is characterized by anhidrosis, absence of pain sensation, and self-mutilation. It is usually accompanied by developmental delay and mental retardation. We report a case of Wilson disease manifested as fulminant hepatitis, acute pancreatitis, and acute kidney injury in a 15-year-old boy comorbid with HSAN-IV and Gitelman syndrome. Such concurrence of three genetic diseases is an extremely rare case.
威尔逊病是一种罕见的常染色体隐性遗传的铜代谢紊乱疾病,其特征是铜在肝脏、大脑和其他组织中过度沉积。如果不及早识别并在出现症状时进行治疗,威尔逊病往往会致命。吉特曼综合征也是一种常染色体隐性遗传性肾脏疾病,其特征是血液中钾和镁水平低、尿钙排泄减少以及血液pH值升高。遗传性感觉自主神经病IV型(HSAN-IV)是一种在婴儿期出现的非常罕见的病症,其特征是无汗、无痛觉和自残行为。它通常伴有发育迟缓和智力迟钝。我们报告了一例15岁男孩的威尔逊病病例,该病例表现为暴发性肝炎、急性胰腺炎和急性肾损伤,同时合并HSAN-IV和吉特曼综合征。三种遗传疾病同时出现是极为罕见的病例。
