Serum Copper

The Serum Copper test measures the level of copper in your blood, which is essential for various bodily functions, including the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of healthy bones and nerves. This test helps diagnose conditions related to copper deficiency or excess, such as Wilson's disease or Menkes syndrome, and is typically performed through a simple blood draw. Your healthcare provider may recommend this test if you exhibit symptoms related to abnormal copper levels or to monitor your treatment progress.
