For those searching for answers copper can affect red blood cell count and drive anemia.

My copper is very low at 9 and hematologist having me scheduled for copper infusions.

My serum iron is low but ferritin normal.

Just something to consider if youre searching for answers.

The best test for copper is for ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin is an protein that contains copper, and transports most of the copper through your body. The usual copper blood test can show normal levels, but if ceruloplasmin is low, the copper won't be used.
