Copper Serum near me in Chennai

The Copper Serum test measures the concentration of copper in the blood, an essential mineral required for red blood cell production, collagen formation, energy metabolism, and the healthy functioning of the nervous and immune systems. The results help determine whether copper levels are normal, too low, or too high. Low copper levels may indicate nutritional deficiency, poor absorption, or genetic conditions like Menkes disease, which can lead to anemia, bone fragility, and neurological problems. High copper levels may suggest Wilson’s disease, liver dysfunction, or copper toxicity, which can damage the liver, brain, and other organs. 

This test is performed using a highly specialised mass spectrometric technique (ICP-MS), which allows precise measurement of trace elements in body fluids. By detecting abnormal copper levels, the test helps doctors evaluate underlying conditions, guide treatment, and monitor therapy for copper-related disorders.
