Up to 5× ULN 1
>5× ULN 2
Rhodanine-positive hepatocytes (only if quantitative copper measurement is not available)
Present 1
Absent 0
Serum ceruloplasmin (nephelometric assay, normal: >0.2 g/L)
Normal (>0.2 g/L) 0
0.1 to 0.2 g/L 1
<0.1 g/L 2
Disease-causing mutations detected
On both chromosomes 4
On 1 chromosome 1
None 0
Total score (not available: scores 0) Assessment of the WD-diagnosis score
4 or more Diagnosis highly likely
2 to 3 Diagnosis probable, do more investigations
0 to 1 Diagnosis unlikely
This scoring system includes clinical and laboratory testing. If information is missing for a given item, the patient is assigned 0 points for that item.

KF: Kayser-Fleischer; ULN: upper limit of normal.

* Or typical abnormalities at brain magnetic resonance imaging.
