Even the slightest deviation from the normal value can cause serious symptoms, be it copper deficiency or copper poisoning. Copper is involved in neutralizing oxidative processes in the body, which contribute greatly to the development of cancerous processes. The presence of adequate levels of copper is essential in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and can also prevent anaemia, bone development disorders, and various neurological diseases.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >What does the test show?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The test is used to determine the amount of copper in the body, which occurs primarily in the blood, urine, and liver.
