Test Code

Ceruloplasmin is a glycoprotein produced by the liver that binds and transports copper in the bloodstream. The Ceruloplasmin blood test is primarily used in the diagnosis and monitoring of Wilson’s disease, a genetic disorder characterized by excessive copper accumulation in the liver, brain, and other organs. Low ceruloplasmin levels may also be seen in severe liver disease, malnutrition, or protein-losing conditions, while elevated levels can occur during pregnancy, inflammation, infections, or estrogen therapy. This test is often interpreted along with serum copper, urine copper, and clinical findings.
