Experts analyzed 40 female patients with Wilson disease (WD) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), comparing them to 43 PCOS patients without WD. PCOS-WD patients had lower testosterone levels but showed correlations between elevated testosterone and liver fibrosis. Hyperandrogenism was more common in adolescents, while liver damage was more pronounced in reproductive-age patients. Copper chelation therapy improved outcomes.
