Ceruloplasmin 
Insights
Your ceruloplasmin levels are within the normal range. Research shows that ceruloplasmin is a protein that plays a role in iron metabolism and copper transport in the body. A deficiency in ceruloplasmin can lead to a condition called Wilson's disease. However, since your levels are normal, there is no need for concern at this time. |

What's this test for?
This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained liver problems, unusual neurological symptoms like tremors or difficulty with coordination, or mood and behavioral changes that don't have a clear cause. It helps identify Wilson's disease, a rare genetic condition where copper builds up in your liver, brain, and other organs, causing serious damage if left untreated. This test is especially important if you have a family history of Wilson's disease or if your doctor suspects copper metabolism problems.
How should I prepare for this test?
No special preparation is typically required for this test, though you should inform your doctor if you're taking any copper supplements or medications that might affect copper metabolism. It's best to take this test when you're not acutely ill, as infections and inflammation can temporarily affect ceruloplasmin levels. Follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider, and make sure to stay well-hydrated before your blood draw.
What's included in this test?
This panel evaluates copper metabolism by measuring ceruloplasmin (the protein that carries copper in your blood) and serum copper levels. Together, these measurements help identify whether your body is retaining too much copper, which can damage your liver, brain, kidneys, and eyes. Low ceruloplasmin combined with abnormal copper levels is a key indicator of Wilson's disease and helps guide further diagnostic steps.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your copper and ceruloplasmin levels mean for your liver and neurological health. These notes include personalized recommendations such as dietary changes to limit copper intake, whether you need additional specialized testing, or if you should consult with a hepatologist or neurologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're monitoring treatment effectiveness.
When will I get my results?
You can typically expect your Wilson's Disease Profile results within 3-5 business days after your blood sample reaches the laboratory. Some specialized copper tests may take slightly longer due to the specific testing methods required. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for anyone with unexplained liver disease, neurological symptoms like tremors or difficulty speaking, psychiatric symptoms, or distinctive brownish rings around the cornea of the eye. It's also crucial for siblings and children of people diagnosed with Wilson's disease, as it's a hereditary condition. Young adults experiencing unusual symptoms, or anyone with abnormal liver function tests without a clear cause, should also consider this screening.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include unexplained fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), abdominal swelling, tremors or uncontrolled movements, difficulty walking or speaking, mood changes or depression, and behavioral changes. You might also experience joint pain, kidney problems, or notice unusual changes in your eyes. Because symptoms can be vague and develop slowly, this test is important if you have a combination of liver and neurological issues that don't have an obvious explanation.
What is Wilson's disease and why does it matter?
Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder where your body can't properly eliminate copper, causing it to accumulate in your liver, brain, and other vital organs. If left untreated, this copper buildup can lead to severe liver damage, liver failure, neurological problems, and psychiatric issues. The good news is that when caught early, Wilson's disease is very treatable with medications and dietary changes that help remove excess copper and prevent organ damage.
What does low ceruloplasmin mean?
Low ceruloplasmin is one of the hallmark findings in Wilson's disease, as the body produces less of this copper-carrying protein. However, low levels can also occur in other conditions like malnutrition, liver disease, or kidney problems. When low ceruloplasmin is combined with other abnormal copper tests and clinical symptoms, it strongly suggests Wilson's disease and warrants further evaluation with additional specialized testing and possibly genetic analysis.
How can I manage copper levels through diet?
If you have Wilson's disease or elevated copper levels, avoid high-copper foods like shellfish, liver and organ meats, chocolate, nuts, mushrooms, and dried fruits. Choose foods lower in copper such as eggs, white meat chicken, most dairy products, and refined grains. Avoid cooking with copper cookware and consider using distilled or filtered water if your tap water has high copper content. Always work with a healthcare provider or dietitian to develop a comprehensive copper-restricted diet plan.
How often should I retest for Wilson's disease?
If you've been diagnosed with Wilson's disease and are on treatment, your doctor will typically monitor your copper levels every 3-6 months initially, then every 6-12 months once levels stabilize. If your first test is normal but you have a family history of Wilson's disease, periodic screening every few years may be recommended. For those with suspicious symptoms but normal initial results, your doctor may suggest retesting in 6-12 months along with additional diagnostic tests.

What this means
Your ceruloplasmin level is below the normal range, which is one of the key indicators of Wilson's disease when combined with other copper metabolism markers. Low ceruloplasmin means your body isn't producing enough of this protein that carries copper in your blood, potentially leading to copper accumulation in organs. This finding warrants follow-up testing and consultation with a specialist to confirm diagnosis and begin appropriate treatment.
Recommended actions
Consult with a hepatologist or genetic specialist for comprehensive Wilson's disease evaluation
Consider additional testing including 24-hour urine copper and slit-lamp eye exam
Begin discussing copper-restricted diet options with your healthcare provider
Have family members screened if Wilson's disease is confirmed
* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
