Serum Copper test is to measure the amount of copper in the blood, urine, or liver tissue; to help diagnose and monitor Wilson disease; sometimes to identify copper deficiency or excess.
When you have jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, behavioral changes, tremors, or other symptoms that a doctor thinks may be due to Wilson disease or, rarely, to copper deficiency or excess; at intervals when you are being treated for a copper-related condition then this test is conducted.
