SERUM COPPER
What does SERUM COPPER measure?
This test measures the level of copper in the serum, the liquid portion of blood. Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in energy production, connective tissue formation, nervous system function, and iron metabolism. A healthcare professional may order this test to help evaluate suspected copper deficiency or excess, monitor known copper-related conditions, or assess abnormal liver or neurological findings. Results are interpreted alongside medical history and other laboratory tests.
