A member asked:

My serum copper is 40.5 umol/l (range: 13.0-25.0). my ceruplasmin is 0.55 g/l (range: 0.18-0.40). what could cause these excessive levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may have: A variant of wilson's disease. Ask the doc this question. If he/she has ruled it out, it is possible that it is due to deficiency of zinc. This deficiency drives copper levels up while copper deficiency drives zinc levels up.
