The Copper test measures the level of copper in the blood, a trace mineral essential for energy production, iron metabolism, nervous system function, and connective tissue health. Copper also plays a role in immune function and antioxidant defense.
This test is commonly used to evaluate copper deficiency or excess and help assess conditions such as Wilson disease, malabsorption disorders, or nutritional imbalances. Abnormal copper levels may be associated with anemia, neurologic symptoms, or liver dysfunction.
