Copper is an essential element that is a cofactor of many enzymes. Copper metabolism is disturbed in Wilson's disease, Menkes disease, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and Indian childhood cirrhosis. Acute phase reactions have an increase in copper concentration. This copper concentration is found to be decreased in malabsorption, nephrosis and malnutrition. It also helps to monitor patients on nutritional supplementation.
