Ceruloplasmin Price in Bangladesh

What is Ceruloplasmin?

Ceruloplasmin is a copper-containing protein that plays a key role in iron metabolism and acts as an antioxidant by oxidizing ferrous iron to ferric iron, facilitating its incorporation into transferrin. It is mainly produced in the liver and is involved in the transport of copper throughout the body.

The ceruloplasmin test is used to assess copper metabolism and diagnose conditions like Wilson's disease, where copper accumulates in tissues, or Menke’s disease, a disorder of copper transport. Low levels of ceruloplasmin are typically seen in Wilson's disease, while elevated levels may be associated with inflammatory conditions, liver disease, or some forms of cancer.

The test can help monitor these conditions and guide treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

Ceruloplasmin is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Ceruloplasmin result rather than self-diagnosing.
