Copper Blood Test

$55.00 AUD

Experiencing unexplained anemia, neurological symptoms, or wondering if your copper levels are optimized for healthy blood formation and nerve function?

The Copper Blood Test measures copper, a mineral essential for making red blood cells, supporting energy production, and keeping the immune and nervous systems healthy. Low copper may be linked to anaemia, fatigue, or weak immunity, while high levels may suggest overload or exposure from supplements, water, or the environment.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test

Overview

Think of copper as your body's skilled handyman – this essential mineral works behind the scenes to keep multiple systems running smoothly, from helping your body absorb iron to building strong connective tissues and supporting brain function. The Copper test measures the levels of this important trace mineral in your blood to ensure you have just the right amount, because like many good things, copper follows a "Goldilocks principle" – too little causes problems like anemia and weak bones, while too much can be toxic and damage your liver and nervous system.

This test is particularly valuable if you're dealing with unexplained anemia that doesn't improve with iron supplements, experiencing neurological symptoms like movement problems or cognitive changes, or have a family history of Wilson's disease (a genetic condition causing dangerous copper buildup). Your results help your healthcare provider understand whether copper imbalances might be contributing to your symptoms and guide appropriate treatment, whether that's addressing a deficiency through diet or supplements, or managing excess copper through specialized therapy.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with unexplained anemia, neurological symptoms, family history of copper disorders, or anyone needing comprehensive copper and metabolic assessment.

Questions

  • Copper is an essential trace mineral vital for iron absorption, collagen formation, energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and immune function.
  • Symptoms may include anemia, fatigue, bone problems, connective tissue disorders, immune dysfunction, and neurological issues.
  • Excess copper (Wilson's disease) can cause liver disease, neurological problems, psychiatric symptoms, and distinctive eye changes (Kayser-Fleischer rings).
  • Causes include poor dietary intake, malabsorption disorders, excessive zinc supplementation, certain medications, and genetic conditions affecting copper metabolism.
  • Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder causing copper accumulation in the liver, brain, and other organs, requiring lifelong treatment with chelation therapy.
  • Treatment depends on the condition: copper supplements for deficiency, chelation therapy for Wilson's disease, and dietary modifications as appropriate.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all copper supplements, multivitamins, and medications that might affect copper levels or metabolism.

After the test

Address abnormal copper through appropriate supplementation for deficiency, chelation therapy for excess, dietary modifications, and regular monitoring. Work with specialists for complex cases.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show copper levels compared to normal ranges. Low levels may indicate deficiency requiring supplementation, while high levels may suggest Wilson's disease or other copper excess conditions.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.
