How is Wilson's disease diagnosed?

The diagnosis of Wilson's disease is typically based on: blood and urine tests that measure the levels of copper, ceruloplasmin, liver function and full blood count; eye examinations that identify the characteristic golden-brown discoloring caused by deposits of excess copper (Kayser-Flesicher rings), and; a liver biopsy (if needed).
