Report Delivery: Sample Mon through Sat by 6 pm; Report Next day
Method: Spectrophotometry, Nephelometry, Electrical Impedence, VCS, ICPMS
Test Type: Disorders of Liver
Doctor: Physician, Gastroenterologist, Opthalmologist
Test Department:
Pre Test Information: If Barium containing contrast media has been administered, the specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Test Details:
The Wilson disease panel test is a diagnostic tool used to identify and confirm the presence of Wilson disease, which is a genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in the body’s tissues, particularly the liver and brain.
The panel typically includes several tests:
- Ceruloplasmin: This test measures the levels of ceruloplasmin, a protein that helps transport copper in the blood. Low levels of ceruloplasmin are often indicative of Wilson disease.
- Copper: This test measures the amount of copper in the blood. Elevated copper levels may suggest Wilson disease.
- 24-hour urine copper: This test measures the amount of copper excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. High levels of copper in the urine can be a sign of Wilson disease.
- Liver function tests: These tests assess the overall function of the liver, which is often affected by Wilson disease. Abnormal liver function may indicate the presence of the condition.
- Genetic testing: Genetic testing can identify mutations in the ATP7B gene, which is responsible for the production of a protein involved in copper transport. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wilson disease.
By analyzing the results of these tests, healthcare providers can make a definitive diagnosis of Wilson disease and determine the appropriate treatment plan. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce copper levels and dietary changes to limit copper intake.
