About the Caeruloplasmin Blood Test

This blood test measures the level of caeruloplasmin, a protein produced by the liver that binds to copper and transports it in the blood. This test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder that causes excessive accumulation of copper in the body, leading to liver and neurological damage.

Additionally, caeruloplasmin levels can be indicative of other conditions such as Menkes disease, chronic liver disease, and certain types of anemia. Elevated levels might be seen in inflammatory conditions or pregnancy, while decreased levels are commonly associated with Wilson's disease.

Your doctor will normally request this test together with other tests, such as a full blood count and serum copper, for example, to get a full assessment of copper metabolism.

    - Caeruloplasmin/Ceruloplasmin

  2. UPGRADE

    Need more biomarkers? Add this test to the Electrolytes Blood Test or to the Copper Blood Test. Alternatively, this can be added to our Ultimate Longevity Blood Test.

  1. TURNAROUND TIME

    We are extremely fast, with some results available within hours and others within a working day or less, from the time your sample is in our lab. However, this is not a guarantee and should not be taken as such. This is the guideline turnaround time that can be shorter or longer.


    THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEED TURNAROUND TIME.


    We are extremely proud of our very short turnaround times and a very efficient laboratory processes, you will start receiving results as soon as they are available and have completed clinical validation.


    Whilst we accommodate the shortest of time scales, with some results available within hours, for this particular test the usual turnaround time is: 4 working days.

DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

Caeruloplasmin is a protein that helps manage iron and copper levels in the body. It converts iron into a form that can be transported in the blood, preventing harmful free iron from causing cell damage.

Additionally, it binds to most of the copper in the bloodstream, ensuring it is safely carried and used by the body.

This dual role makes caeruloplasmin essential for maintaining healthy iron and copper balance, preventing toxicity and supporting various metabolic processes.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Hi, I am Stefania Brown, I am the Laboratory Manager at One Day Tests and here are the lab's special requests for the Cerulo plasmin Blood Test.

  1. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING THE CERULO PLASMIN BLOOD TEST.

    There are no special instructions for this test but do consult your doctor regarding medication and do let our laboratory know.


Venepuncture appointment - how to prepare

If you are coming into one of our clinics for the test, this is what you need to do before you arrive:

  • Drink plenty of water about an hour before the appointment.
  • Avoid coffee/tea/energy drinks. Water is good!
  • That’s it! We’ll do the rest.

Home test kit for Cerulo plasmin Blood Test - how it works

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

What does a caeruloplasmin blood test diagnose?

A caeruloplasmin blood test is primarily used to diagnose Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in the liver, brain, and other organs. It can also help diagnose other conditions affecting copper metabolism, such as Menkes disease and chronic liver diseases.

How is the caeruloplasmin blood test done?

The test involves drawing a blood sample, from a vein in your arm at our clinics, or as a capillary sample - it is available as a home kit. No special preparation is needed, but it's important to inform the laboratory of any medications you're taking, as they can affect the test results.

What do abnormal caeruloplasmin levels indicate?

Low levels of caeruloplasmin can indicate Wilson's disease or other genetic disorders affecting copper transport. Elevated levels may be seen in conditions like chronic inflammation, liver disease, or pregnancy.

Abnormal results will tell you to seek further diagnostic testing to determine the underlying cause.

WHY TAKE THE TEST?

Hi, I am Nader Eldarf, I am a Biomedical Scientist in our laboratory and here is why it's important to take this test.

  1. WHY TAKE THE CERULO PLASMIN BLOOD TEST?

    The caeruloplasmin blood test is important because it helps diagnose and monitor disorders related to copper metabolism, particularly Wilson's disease.

    This genetic condition leads to excessive copper accumulation in the liver, brain, and other vital organs, causing significant damage.

IS THIS TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

Hi, I am Sandeep Patel, I am the Laboratory Director at One Day Tests. Here are the symptoms that you may wish to address with this test.

  1. IS THE CERULO PLASMIN BLOOD TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

    Whether this test is right for you depends on your symptoms and medical history.

    If you are experiencing symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, or neurological issues like tremors and difficulty with coordination, your consultant might consider this test. These symptoms could indicate disorders related to copper metabolism, such as Wilson's disease or other liver and neurological conditions.

    Your doctor may also recommend this test if you have a family history of Wilson's disease or other genetic conditions affecting copper levels.

    The test can also be useful in evaluating chronic liver disease or unexplained anemia.
