Assess Vital Copper Levels - Plasma Copper Test

A quantitative test to measure the concentration of the element copper (Cu) in a blood plasma sample. Copper is an essential element that enters into the composition of many important enzymes in oxidation-reduction processes, connective tissue formation, iron metabolism, and nervous system function. This test is primarily used to help diagnose and monitor Wilson's disease (hemochromatosis) and other copper deficiency or excess conditions.
