This blood test measures caeruloplasmin, a protein that carries copper around the body. It's commonly used to help assess copper metabolism disorders, such as Wilson's disease, alongside other tests.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Caeruloplasmin is a protein that carries copper through your bloodstream and plays a role in iron metabolism. This test measures how much of it is in your blood; abnormal levels can be linked to copper deficiency, copper overload, or liver disease, and the test is commonly used to help assess conditions such as Wilson's disease, alongside clinical findings and copper level testing.
We do not have a directly comparable rival test on file for caeruloplasmin specifically. Against the wider set of vitamins and minerals tests we track, it is priced substantially above the typical rate, at 129% over the median for a test of this size, which is by far the biggest factor behind its low value for money score.
It scores well for clarity, with the sample type, what is measured and the turnaround clearly published, and around the middle for clinical depth as a single, specific marker. It scores lower on results and follow-up because a doctor does not review the results as standard, and interpreting an abnormal caeruloplasmin result typically needs to be done alongside copper levels and clinical findings, which this test alone does not provide.
This suits you if a clinician has suggested checking your caeruloplasmin level, for example to help investigate suspected Wilson's disease, unexplained liver problems, or neurological symptoms potentially linked to copper imbalance. It is a specific, single-marker test rather than a broader panel, and results are usually interpreted alongside other copper-related tests.
We do not have a directly comparable rival test on file, and this is one of the more expensive single-marker tests in the vitamins and minerals category we track, so it is worth checking whether a bundled copper or liver panel would work out better value if you need more than this one marker.
A trained healthcare professional takes a venous blood sample at a clinic, or you can arrange a home nurse visit, and the sample is analysed in the laboratory to determine your caeruloplasmin concentration. Results are ready within one working day, and your report shows whether your level falls within the normal range; the provider does not state that a doctor reviews the results as standard, so any follow-up on an abnormal result would need to be arranged separately.
The Caeruloplasmin Test is a £195 blood test that measures a protein involved in transporting copper around the body, commonly used to help assess copper metabolism disorders such as Wilson's disease. It prices 129% above the £85 median for the vitamins and minerals tests we track, making it one of the more expensive single-marker tests in that group. Results are ready within one working day, and a doctor does not review them as standard.
