A member asked:
Does a normal serum copper level and serum ceruloplasmin level of 21 rule out wilson's disease? have fatty liver with zero risk factors & mansymptoms
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Diagnosing wilson's is treacherous and i'd ask about a urinary copper. About 1/4 of wilson's patients will have normal serum ceruloplasmin, and the serum copper is even less reliable.
