Copper Serum Test
The Copper Serum Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of copper in the bloodstream. Copper is an essential trace element that plays a significant role in various bodily functions, including the formation of red blood cells, absorption of iron, and the maintenance of healthy bones, blood vessels, and nerves. An imbalance in copper levels can lead to serious health issues, making this test important for early detection and management of related conditions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the concentration of copper in serum, helping to identify both deficiencies and excesses in the body. Abnormal copper levels can indicate metabolic disorders, liver diseases, or other health conditions that require further investigation.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, jaundice, or neurological issues may benefit from this test. Additionally, those with risk factors such as a family history of metabolic disorders or liver diseases should consider getting tested. It is also recommended for patients who have undergone treatments involving gadolinium, iodine, or barium contrast media, as these can affect copper levels.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early detection of copper imbalances can lead to timely interventions.

- Provides peace of mind regarding overall health status.
