About Copper, Urine Test in Pasadena
Copper is a trace element required for iron metabolism, connective tissue formation, energy production, and the function of several antioxidant enzymes.
The body tightly regulates copper through absorption in the digestive tract and excretion through the liver into bile, with a portion ultimately leaving the body in urine. When this balance is disturbed, urinary copper can rise or fall outside the expected range.
A urine copper measurement is frequently used alongside blood copper and ceruloplasmin testing to evaluate suspected disorders of copper metabolism, such as Wilson disease, or to monitor conditions that affect copper storage and excretion.
Results are reported as a concentration or as a total amount excreted over the collection interval, and they are interpreted in the context of the collection duration, hydration status, and other laboratory findings.
