Ceruloplasmin

This test is primarily used to assess copper metabolism and can help diagnose conditions related to copper deficiency or excess, such as Wilson's disease and Menkes disease. Ceruloplasmin levels may be elevated in conditions like inflammation or liver disease. Monitoring ceruloplasmin is essential for understanding a patient’s copper status and guiding appropriate treatment strategies for related disorders.
