Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper (Cu2+) metabolism, resulting in Cu2+ accumulation and liver and central nervous system toxicity. Oxidative stress may have a role in the pathogenesis of Wilson disease, but the roles of thiol/disulfide homeostasis and nitrosative stress have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there is a modification in thiol/disulfide homeostasis and nitrosative stress in patients with Wilson disease.
