A ceruloplasmin test is a blood test to check your ceruloplasmin levels. Ceruloplasmin is a protein your liver makes. It binds to copper and carries it throughout your body. If you have low ceruloplasmin, it can point to a genetic condition called Wilson disease, a copper deficiency or other medical conditions
