Test Details
The copper 24-hour urine test is a diagnostic test that measures the amount of copper excreted in a person’s urine over a 24-hour period. This test is typically ordered to evaluate copper metabolism and diagnose or monitor conditions related to copper imbalances, such as Wilson’s disease or other liver diseases.
To perform the test, the individual will collect all of their urine over a 24-hour period in a special container provided by the laboratory. The container is usually kept in a cool place during the collection period to prevent bacterial growth. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider or laboratory for accurate results.
After the collection period, the urine sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will measure the amount of copper in the urine and compare it to normal ranges. Elevated levels of copper may indicate copper overload or impaired copper metabolism, while low levels may suggest copper deficiency.
The copper 24-hour urine test is a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring copper-related disorders. It is often used in conjunction with other tests, such as blood tests and liver function tests, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of copper metabolism.
