The serum copper test measures the concentration of copper in the blood, an essential mineral for various bodily functions, including red blood cell formation and nervous system maintenance. This analysis is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diseases such as Wilson's disease and copper deficiency. We use Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry to ensure accurate and reliable results. This test is essential for patients with symptoms of mineral imbalances or metabolic diseases.
No special preparation is required before the test. The sample must be separated immediately, transferred to a plastic tube, and refrigerated. It is important that the sample is not hemolyzed. Inform the staff about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may interfere with the results.
