Copper, Urine

Copper, Urine is a diagnostic test that measures the amount of copper excreted in the urine over a specified period, typically 24 hours. This test is useful for assessing copper metabolism and diagnosing conditions related to abnormal copper levels in the body. Elevated urinary copper levels can indicate disorders such as Wilson's disease, a genetic condition that leads to excessive copper accumulation in tissues, particularly the liver and brain. In contrast, low levels may suggest copper deficiency, which can affect various bodily functions, including red blood cell formation and immune response.
