A member asked:
What is the treatment for elevated copper in blood? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually nothing: Usually this is due to elevated serum ceruloplasmin, your main copper-carrying protein. This rises during systemic inflammation, pregnancy and if a person for whatever reason is on estrogen or some of the oral contraceptive pills. Or it may simply run high for you; the reference range isn't the range that defines health. As a lab physician myself, the key question is, "how do you feel?".
