Disease name diagnosis is the core matter in clinical diagnosis of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The name of Hepatolenticular degeneration has a lot of problems from a scientific
standar dization and normalization point of view. Based on classical literatures
the authors discuss the shortcoming of the disease name and suggest to replace "hepatolenticular degeneration" by "Wilson's disease".
