Ceruloplasmin

Ceruloplasmin


Ceruloplasmin is an important protein that binds and transports copper throughout the body. Abnormal levels may indicate conditions such as Wilson’s disease, copper deficiency, liver disorders, or ongoing inflammation. This test is usually recommended when symptoms suggest a copper imbalance or when further investigation of liver health is required.

What the Test Measures

This test measures the amount of ceruloplasmin protein in your blood. Since ceruloplasmin carries copper, the result helps assess copper metabolism and may identify abnormalities related to liver function or inherited conditions affecting copper levels.
