Indian childhood cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease of childhood characterised by cirrhosis of liver^[1] due to deposition of copper in the liver.^[2] It primarily affects children of 1–3 years of age and has a genetic predisposition. It had a very high case fatality in the past^[3] but has eventually become preventable, treatable and is now rare.^[4]
