Copper is an essential trace mineral vital for iron metabolism, energy production, nerve health, and immune function. Testing helps identify deficiency or toxicity.
Copper is a critical trace mineral that plays essential roles throughout your body. It is required for iron absorption and red blood cell formation, making it crucial for preventing anemia. Copper is also a component of important enzymes involved in energy production, connective tissue formation, nerve signaling, and the immune response. Both copper deficiency and excess can cause health problems. Deficiency may result from malabsorption conditions, zinc supplementation, or certain surgeries, while copper toxicity can occur from Wilson's disease, excessive supplementation, or environmental exposure. This test measures serum copper to help identify imbalances.

What's Measured
What This Test Measures
This test measures the concentration of copper in your blood serum. Copper levels reflect your body's copper status and can help diagnose deficiency, excess, or conditions affecting copper metabolism like Wilson's disease or Menkes disease.
Who Should Consider This Test
People with unexplained anemia that doesn't respond to iron supplementation, those with symptoms of copper deficiency (fatigue, weakness, bone problems, frequent infections), individuals taking high-dose zinc supplements, people with malabsorption conditions (celiac disease, Crohn's, gastric bypass), and those with a family history of Wilson's disease.

Understanding Your Results
Normal copper levels typically range from 70-140 mcg/dL in adults, though ranges vary by lab. Low levels may indicate deficiency from diet, malabsorption, or zinc excess. Very low levels suggest Menkes disease. Elevated copper can occur with Wilson's disease (paradoxically low despite accumulation in tissues), inflammation, pregnancy, or copper toxicity. Results are often interpreted alongside ceruloplasmin levels.
