The Ceruloplasmin – Serum Test measures the amount of ceruloplasmin, a copper-carrying protein produced by the liver, in the blood. Ceruloplasmin plays a key role in transporting copper throughout the body and has antioxidant properties.
This test helps assess copper metabolism and may be used in the diagnosis of Wilson’s disease, a rare inherited disorder that leads to copper buildup in the liver, brain, and other vital organs.
