Service Providers for Serum Copper
The serum copper test measures copper levels in the blood, helping diagnose conditions like Wilson’s disease, copper deficiency, or liver disease. Preparation may involve fasting for 8-12 hours. During the test, a blood sample is drawn from a vein, which takes only a few minutes. Risks include minor bruising or discomfort at the injection site. Results are interpreted based on normal copper ranges; low levels may suggest deficiency, while high levels can indicate liver issues or Wilson's disease. Medications, infections, or liver conditions may affect results.
