Your copper blood levels, if accurate, are well outside the normal range, according to a number of websites. The free copper percentage is normally around 5%, not over 50%.

I would suggest that you get your copper level reassessed. If you can find a different lab, that might be a good idea, also.

Your numbers are not consistent with Wilson's disease. At least we can eliminate that, if the same pattern is revealed in your new results. Wilson's patients have chronically low cerruloplasmin levels, which is at the heart of the disorder.

I did find a quick list of health conditions associated with hypercupremia (high blood copper levels). "Hypercupremia is found in primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, hemochromatosis, malignant diseases (including leukemia), thyrotoxicosis, and various infections. Serum copper concentrations are also elevated in patients taking contraceptives or estrogens and during pregnancy." Add inflammation to that list, too.

Your original test might not be accurate, so, I'd just get that test run again, as a starting point.

Best,
Lar
