Ceruloplasmin Blood Test
Item # LC001560
Measures ceruloplasmin, which binds copper for blood transport
This test is an important tool in evaluating for liver disease and is part of a Wilson’s disease diagnosis. It checks for levels of the protein ceruloplasmin, which binds the trace mineral copper so that it can be transported in the blood to where it is needed.
Ceruloplasmin is a protein produced by the liver that binds copper for transport in the blood. Decreased production of this protein causes copper to be deposited in body tissues such as the brain, liver, corneas, and kidneys. This test is used in conjunction with serum copper to evaluate Wilson’s disease. It is also used in the evaluation of chronically active hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other liver disease. Instructions Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed. |
