Copper, Serum/Plasma Trace Metal

This test is commonly used to evaluate copper deficiency or copper toxicity. Low levels may be seen in conditions such as Menkes disease or malnutrition, while elevated levels can indicate Wilson’s disease or copper poisoning, which can lead to liver and neurological issues. Monitoring copper levels helps healthcare providers diagnose and manage conditions related to abnormal copper metabolism, ensuring proper treatment and care.
