Test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, and other things. Your test results may be different depending on the lab used. They may not mean you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider what your test results mean for you.

The normal range for total copper in the blood is 62 to 140 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL).
A low amount of copper could mean that you have:

• Kidney disease
  
• A nutritional deficiency
  
• Inability to absorb copper
  

In Wilson disease, blood levels of copper are low even while copper builds up to toxic levels in the liver and other organs. An exception is the person with Wilson disease who has acute liver failure. In this case, the level of copper in the blood may be higher than normal.
Any of the following conditions could cause your test result to be high:

• Copper toxicity from taking in too much copper, perhaps through water or dietary supplements
  
• Anemia
  
• Biliary cirrhosis, a liver disease
  
• Hemochromatosis, a condition in which your body absorbs too much iron
  
• Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
  
• Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
  
• Infection
  
• Leukemia
  
• Lymphoma
  
• Rheumatoid arthritis

Is there copper in our blood?
Normally most of the copper in your blood is carried by a protein called ceruloplasmin. Adults have 50 to 120 milligrams (mg) of copper in their body, mostly in muscle and the liver. Copper helps make melanin, bone, and connective tissue. It also helps with many other processes in your body. The normal concentration of copper in plasma is around 1 mg/L, ranging up to about 1.5 mg/L (Bergomi et al., 1997; Ford, 2000; Romero et al., 2002; Arredondo et al., 2008). Women generally have higher plasma copper levels than men (Milne, 1998). Various health problems can disrupt normal copper levels. This can cause you to have too little copper (copper deficiency) or too much copper (copper toxicity). Because a normal diet has plenty … Continue reading
