Book a Test- Serum Copper

Serum Copper is a blood test that measures the level of copper in the blood. Copper is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells, maintenance of healthy connective tissues, and support of immune function. The test is often used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes the body to accumulate excess copper. Abnormal serum copper levels can also be indicative of other conditions, such as liver disease, malnutrition, or certain infections. In addition, serum copper levels can be affected by various factors, including hormonal changes, inflammation, and certain medications. By measuring serum copper levels, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into a patient's overall health and diagnose potential underlying conditions.
