CERULOPLASMIN 0000326

Ceruloplasmin is used to measure the amount of ceruloplasmin in the blood which could diagnose Wilson’s disease or other conditions associated with copper deficiencies. It’s the test to consider when you have jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, behavioral changes, tremors, or other symptoms that your doctor thinks may be due to Wilson’s disease or, rarely, to copper deficiency due to Menkes disease and aceruloplasminemia. It is also used to monitor such conditions at appropriate intervals.
