Copper, RBCs (FCOPP)
The Copper, RBCs (FCOPP) screening is a specialized blood test designed to measure the concentration of copper within red blood cells. Copper is a trace element crucial for various physiological processes, such as the formation of red blood cells and the function of enzymes involved in energy metabolism. Copper imbalance can occur due to various factors, leading to either copper deficiency or excess. Conditions like Wilson's disease result in copper buildup, while inadequate copper intake or absorption can cause copper deficiency anemia. The FCOPP test is a valuable tool for assessing copper status and diagnosing conditions related to copper metabolism. It helps healthcare providers identify the underlying causes of symptoms and provides guidance for appropriate treatment.
