Copper urine test

Quantitative urinary copper

The normal range is 10 to 30 micrograms per 24 hours.

Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

An abnormal result means you have a higher than normal level of copper. This may be due to:

• Biliary cirrhosis
• Chronic active hepatitis
• Wilson's disease
