Dear Mailbase users,
I am currently auditing ceruloplasmin and copper data in our lab. I am
interested to know how other labs interpret results when investigating for
Wilson's Disease. We currently refer samples with ceruloplasmin <250mg/l
for serum copper analysis which we then use to calculate a free copper
index. We then suggest a 24hr Urine copper if calculated free copper >25%.
What approach do other labs take? Are there any guidelines I should know
about? I appreciate any information anyone can offer me.
Thanks in advance
