What does a low result mean?
A modest dip prompts checking copper stores and verifying absence of renal or gastrointestinal protein loss.
What does a high result mean?
A slightly elevated number is very common with oral estrogen contraception, pregnancy, or minor acute-phase inflammation.

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Could estrogen medications or recent minor inflammation explain this level?
- Does this align consistently with my blood copper reading?
- Is follow-up testing suggested?
