What is Ceruloplasmin?

Ceruloplasmin is a protein produced in the liver that plays a vital role in copper metabolism, transporting copper throughout the body. This blood test measures the amount of ceruloplasmin in your blood.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal ceruloplasmin levels can indicate copper metabolism disorders, most notably Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder where copper accumulates in organs. It also helps monitor copper levels in other conditions.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
