The Copper – 24-Hour Urine Test measures the amount of copper excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Copper is a vital trace mineral involved in various biological processes, but abnormal levels may indicate metabolic or liver disorders.

This test is especially useful in diagnosing Wilson’s disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes excessive copper accumulation in the body, particularly in the liver and brain.
