A member asked:
I've had blood work recently and my copper levels are significantly increasing. what could cause this? i've ran out of answers.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More tests: High serum and urine copper in young individuals may suggest abnormal copper metabolism which can be an inhereted disorder know as Wilson's disease. Early on there may be little or no symptoms but later you may see jaundice (yellow skin color due to liver dis) and Parkinson's-like symptoms. Suggested tests: liver profile; ceruloplasmin and 24-hr urine copper level
