Low copper can contribute to anemia, low white blood cell counts, numbness or tingling, and fatigue, while high copper may be seen in certain liver or bile problems and in rare conditions affecting copper handling. Because copper levels can be influenced by supplements, inflammation, and hormones (including pregnancy and estrogen use), doctors often interpret this test together with clinical history and related labs such as zinc, iron studies, and liver tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatient Preparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo fasting needed.
