EPH174 Trends in Hospitalization of Patients with Wilson's Disease in Germany

Wilson's disease (MW) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. Copper excretion from the liver via the bile duct is decreased due to gene mutations. Thus, copper accumulates in various organs, damaging them and leading to a variable symptom pattern. In recent years, new drugs have been approved for treatment. Here, we aim to investigate how frequently these therapies are used in inpatient settings and how hospitalization patterns have evolved since then.
