- Abstract: On July 1, 2026, Hepatology International published online the APASL clinical practice guidance on the diagnosis and management of patients with Wilson’s disease. The guidance formulates 22 recommendations for Wilson’s disease from the aspects of clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging diagnostics, genetic testing, family screening, lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, liver transplantation, pregnancy management, and care for asymptomatic/presymptomatic patients. This article systematically reviews the core contents of this guidance, with a particular focus on the excerpted recommendations for diagnosis and treatment, in order to provide a practical reference for the clinical identification, diagnosis, and long-term management of patients with Wilson’s disease.
