What is COPPER, RBC?
The Copper, RBC test measures the amount of copper specifically within your red blood cells. This test provides a more accurate assessment of long-term copper status compared to serum copper, as RBCs reflect tissue levels over time.
Why is this test important?
This test is particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease, where copper accumulates in tissues. It helps differentiate between acute and chronic copper imbalances, guiding targeted treatment.
