COPPER (URINE SPOT) (O.S)

Overview

The Copper (urine spot) test measures the level of copper excreted in a single urine sample, typically to assess copper metabolism or detect conditions like Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes copper buildup in the body. This test is useful for monitoring individuals with liver disease or suspected copper toxicity. Elevated urine copper levels may indicate excess copper storage, while low levels may suggest deficiency.
