Question about Wilson's Disease?


I'm wanting other people's opinion, especially any medical people. I'm wondering if it would be goofy of me to ask to be tested for Wilson's Disease. I don't think I have the rings they talk about(do you have to?), but below are my symptoms and my parents.

my symptoms
anemia
enlarged liver-seen on cat scan-might be reidels lobe
mild fatty liver-seen on cat scan
high ast and alt
muscle weakness
tingling in feet and hands
digestive problems-constipation
fibromyalgia
nightvision problems-problems with bright lights
memory problems
very itchy legs
weight gain

father-parkinsons symptoms,gait,anxiety,constipation-his parkinsons isn't really major shakes even after 10 years of having it.


mom-severe insomnia,kidney stones,anxiety,constipation,ostioperosis... problems,memory problems,weight gain,macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma.

If not Wilson's, what might I get checked for? I've had a hepatitis test and that was negative.

My liver isn't inflamed, so I don't think that is it. I don't think it's scarred either.

About 95% of people with Wilsons disease have Kayser-Fleischer rings. You should mention it to your doctor and get an eye exam done ( and your parents since its hereditary and a reccissive disorder so if both your parents suffer from it then you definitely do). If one of you has the rings well then you should get tested if none of you do then its unlikely you have it.

have u been tested for obstructive jaundice?especially sclerosing cholangitis?
