Is hepatolenticular degeneration surgery?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Is Wilson's disease a surgical condition?

Doctor's answer:

Hemochromatosis requires consultation with internal medicine. It is not a neurological disease; it is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by abnormal copper metabolism, leading to a series of diseases. Patients with this condition should consult internal medicine. For these patients, avoid cooking with copper pots and consuming foods high in copper, such as various nuts, seafood, and animal organs. If they wish to have children, they should undergo counseling or chromosome testing.
