CERP

The Ceruloplasmin test measures levels of this copper-carrying protein, which plays a vital role in iron metabolism and antioxidant defence. Abnormal levels may indicate copper deficiency, Wilson’s disease, Menkes disease, or liver disorders. Symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, neurological issues, anaemia, or jaundice may prompt this test to assess copper balance and overall metabolic health.

Why Ceruloplasmin Blood Test Matters?

Ceruloplasmin is essential for transporting copper and regulating iron in the body. Low levels can point to serious conditions like Wilson’s disease or severe copper deficiency, while high levels may indicate inflammation or liver dysfunction. A ceruloplasmin lab test helps identify underlying metabolic, hepatic, or genetic disorders, allowing for timely intervention and treatment planning.

FAQs

What is ceruloplasmin?

Ceruloplasmin is a copper-binding protein found in the blood. It plays a crucial role in transporting copper, supporting iron metabolism, and contributing to the body’s antioxidant defence system. Abnormal ceruloplasmin levels can indicate copper imbalance or underlying health conditions.

Who should consider the Ceruloplasmin Test?

This test is recommended for individuals with suspected Wilson’s disease, chronic liver disorders, unexplained copper imbalance, or neurological and metabolic symptoms such as tremors, fatigue, or abnormal liver function tests.

Does the Ceruloplasmin Test diagnose Wilson’s disease?

The ceruloplasmin blood test is an important tool in evaluating Wilson’s disease, but it is not diagnostic on its own. Additional investigations, such as 24-hour urinary copper, liver biopsy, or genetic testing, are usually required for confirmation.

Can diet affect ceruloplasmin levels?

Yes. Severe malnutrition, copper deficiency, or liver disease may lower ceruloplasmin levels, while conditions such as inflammation or infection can increase them. Maintaining balanced nutrition and liver health supports optimal copper metabolism.

How is the Ceruloplasmin Test performed?

The test is performed using a simple venous blood sample, collected in-clinic and analysed in a specialist laboratory to measure ceruloplasmin concentration accurately.
