| Interpretive Data: |
#ExistInterpData>Free copper (direct) is determined with serum ultrafiltrate. Results may be elevated in Wilson disease or other conditions of copper overload. Other tests used to diagnosis Wilson disease include serum ceruloplasmin, 24-hour urine copper, and hepatic copper. Slit lamp examination for Kayser-Fleischer rings and genetic testing may also be helpful.

#ExistNote>
| Note: |
Elevated results from noncertified trace element-free tubes may be due to contamination. Elevated concentrations of trace elements in serum should be confirmed with a second specimen collected in a trace element-free tube, such as royal blue sterile tube (no additive).
