Copper (Urine Test)

A copper urine test is used to measure the amount of copper in a person's urine. This test can help diagnose and monitor conditions such as Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in the body. Elevated levels of copper in the urine may indicate liver or kidney disease, while decreased levels may be a sign of malnutrition or certain genetic disorders. The test involves collecting a urine sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
