What is a Copper Urine Spot?

The Copper Urine Spot test is a diagnostic urine test that measures the amount of copper excreted in a single urine sample. Copper is an essential trace mineral, but abnormal levels can indicate metabolic or liver disorders. Doctors often order this test to help diagnose conditions like Wilson’s disease, monitor copper metabolism, or evaluate unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, neurological changes, or liver dysfunction. It provides valuable insight into copper balance and overall metabolic health.
