The Mayo Clinic Ceruloplasmin (CERS) test is a blood test that measures the level of ceruloplasmin in the blood. Ceruloplasmin is a protein that plays a role in copper transport and metabolism in the body. Abnormal levels of ceruloplasmin can indicate conditions such as Wilson disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in the body, leading to liver and brain damage. The test is typically used to diagnose and monitor Wilson disease, as well as other conditions related to copper metabolism. The test is performed using a blood sample and is considered a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool.

Ceruloplasmin, a vital protein in the blood responsible for carrying and regulating copper, plays a crucial role in maintaining various bodily functions, including the formation of red blood cells and the health of the nervous system. The Ceruloplasmin (CERS) screening offers a means of monitoring ceruloplasmin levels, providing essential information about copper metabolism and overall health. Recognizing that imbalances in copper levels can lead to health issues like Wilson's disease or other copper-related disorders, the CERS screening serves as a valuable tool for early identification. This enables timely interventions and the formulation of personalized treatment plans. Whether individuals have known copper-related health concerns or are proactively managing their well-being, the CERS screening offers valuable insights into potential imbalances, facilitating informed decisions for optimal health. Choose CERS screening for a comprehensive assessment of ceruloplasmin levels and take proactive steps towards prioritizing your well-being.
