Does anyone have data relating to the incidence of Wilson's disease by
decade of age. The number of Copper/ Ceruloplasmin requests that we see in
patients in their 80's with abnormal LFT's seems unjustifiably high. But
some hard evidence would be useful to dampen the enthusiasm of our
gastroenterologists.
