Abstract
A 12-year-old girl with severely decompensated abdominal Wilson diseas e was treated with abdominal dialysis in order to accelerate the excre tion of chelated copper. Dialysate without human serum albumin or D-pe nicillamine was used and was able to accelerate the excretion of chela ted copper, with an increment of 5.5-19.7% compared with urinary excre tion only.
