Available copper analysis tests

Copper toxicity diagnostic markers/secondary markers

  • Elevated copper levels in hair - hidden or direct levels (diagnostic marker)
​
  • Copper urine levels above normal range (secondary marker)
  • Copper plasma levels above normal range (secondary marker)
  • Ceruloplasmin (copper-binding protein) serum levels below or above (less common) normal range (secondary marker)​

Please note: Copper levels can sometimes be normal in both blood and urine but then high on a hair mineral test along with a deficient or excessive ceruloplasmin level. A hair mineral test and a ceruloplasmin test is the primary option for analysing copper status. Copper can be stored away in body tissue whilst blood and urine levels can be normal; the hair test will analyse copper body tissue storage because hair works as a soft tissue biopsy.
