Ceruloplasmin(Copper Oxidase), Serum

Description

This test measures the levels of ceruloplasmin, a copper-containing protein, in the blood serum. Ceruloplasmin plays a crucial role in copper metabolism and transport. The results can help diagnose Wilson’s disease, a genetic disorder of copper metabolism, and other conditions affecting copper levels in the body. It’s also useful in assessing liver function, as ceruloplasmin is produced in the liver. Abnormal levels may indicate various liver diseases or copper-related disorders.
