A 12‐year‐old girl with severely decompensated abdominal Wilson disease was treated with abdominal dialysis in order to accelerate the excretion of chelated copper. Dialysate without human serum albumin or D‐penicillamine was used and was able to accelerate the excretion of chelated copper, with an increment of 5.5–19.7% compared with urinary excretion only.
