Ceruloplasmin

Ceruloplasmin is a protein that is produced by the liver and plays a role in transporting copper throughout the body. The ceruloplasmin blood test is used to evaluate copper levels in the body and to diagnose and monitor certain conditions that affect copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease. Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder that causes the body to retain too much copper, which can lead to damage of the liver, brain, and other organs.

There is an additional £20 phlebotomy fee for every donation.
