What is Ceruloplasmin?
Ceruloplasmin is a protein in the blood that primarily binds and transports copper to different parts of the body. It plays a crucial role in iron metabolism and helps maintain a healthy immune system.
Why should you have Ceruloplasmin tested?
Testing ceruloplasmin levels can be useful in diagnosing copper metabolism disorders, such as Wilson's disease, and other conditions related to iron metabolism. It can also help determine the cause of unexplained anemia or neurological symptoms.
What does it indicate?
Ceruloplasmin levels in the blood can provide information about the amount of copper in the body. It also helps evaluate the overall health of the iron and immune systems.
What does a high Ceruloplasmin level mean?
A high ceruloplasmin level may indicate inflammation, pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives, or an excessive amount of copper in the body, such as in Wilson's disease.
What does a low Ceruloplasmin level mean?
A low level may indicate a copper deficiency in the body, liver diseases, certain genetic disorders such as Wilson's disease, or a problem with the synthesis of ceruloplasmin in the liver.
