-This 61-year-old female was first admitted to the hospital because of ascites and pedal edema. A liver biopsy revealed a marked intracellular accumulation of iron. The serum iron concentration was reported as 220 mcg/dL. On the basis of these studies, the diagnosis of hemochromatosis was made. It should be noted that the patient also exhibited an abnormal glucose tolerance curve at this time (following the ingestion of a test dose of glucose, the blood glucose level rose to 290 mg/dL at one hour and remained at this level for the next three hours). Subsequent to the first admission, the patient was admitted on several occasions for ascites. The patient's last admission was necessitated by the development of symptoms and signs of hepatic failure (hepatic coma) characterized by jaundice and coma.

 Wilson's Disease is also an autosomal recessive disorder that results in the accumulation of toxic levels of copper. Like hemochromatosis, the gene defect has been localized but the exact nature of the genetic defect is unknown. In this disorder, copper absorption and transport to the liver are normal; however, the copper does not get back into the circulation as ceruloplasmin and copper excretion into bile is severely impaired. The accumulation of copper leads primarily to liver, brain and eye damage. The liver develops fatty change and nuclear vacuolization in the setting of acute or chronic hepatitis which later progresses to cirrhosis. Neurologic manifestations include toxic neuronal injury primarily in the basal ganglia. Accumulation of copper in the cornea results in the formation of Kayser-Fleischer rings.</spoiler>
