Question 20 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Helen has a disease that she inherited from her parents. Helen’s doctor diagnosed the disease with a blood test. The doctor found abnormally high levels of copper in the blood. Which of these does Helen most likely have?

Answer
A
Wilson’s disease
B
inflammatory bowel disease
C
coronary artery disease
D
Paget’s disease

Explanation

Wilson’s disease is an inherited disorder in which the body cannot properly remove excess copper, so copper can build up in the body and blood. The abnormally high copper level points to Wilson’s disease, not bowel, coronary artery, or Paget’s disease.
