Serum Copper, Ceruloplasmin and 24-h Urine Copper Evaluations in Celiac Patients

The aim of the study is to evaluate the serum copper, ceruloplasmin and 24-h urine copper levels in celiac patients.Serum copper, ceruloplasmin and 24-h urine measurements were evaluated in patients with celiac ( n = 32), Crohn’s ( n = 25), Wilson’s ( n = 11) and in a healthy group ( n = 35). Serum and 24-h urine zinc levels, AST, ALT, BUN, creatinine, iron, hemoglobin, hematocrit, lymphocyte, sedimentation and CRP levels were also measured. Results were evaluated statistically and significance was accepted as meaningful if P
