The copper test, also known as the serum copper test, is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of copper in the blood. Copper is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in various physiological processes in the body. The copper test is performed to assess copper levels and evaluate its function.
Wilson's Disease: Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of copper in the body. The copper test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor Wilson's disease. Elevated copper levels in the blood may indicate this condition.
Copper Deficiency: Low copper levels in the blood may be seen in individuals with malabsorption disorders, such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease, or those with inadequate dietary intake of copper. Copper deficiency can lead to various symptoms, including anemia, impaired growth, and neurological abnormalities.
The Copper Test is a simple blood test that can be performed in a laboratory. Before the test, the patient may be asked to avoid certain medications that may affect the results. During the test, our healthcare professional will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in the patient's arm. The blood sample will then be sent to our laboratory for analysis.
Interpreting copper test results involves comparing the measured levels of copper with established reference ranges. Elevated copper levels may suggest copper overload or Wilson's disease, while low copper levels may indicate copper deficiency or malabsorption. The results should be interpreted in the context of the individual's clinical history and other relevant laboratory tests.
