ABSTRACT
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism that is rarely reported among Filipinos. Four children with Wilson disease presenting with various hepatic manifestations, namely, an asymptomatic elevation of transaminase levels, prolonged jaundice and acute liver failure are presented. The diagnosis was based on a combination of clinical and biochemical findings. Early recognition and management is important as effective treatment could reverse the damage caused by copper toxicity.
