Hi and thanks for the query.
Ceruloplasmin is a copper binding protein secreted by the liver. It also has an oxidative function.
Normal serum values of cerruloplasmin are between 20-40mg/dl.
A reduced ceruloplasmin is seen in Wilson's disease which is associated with raised SGOT & SGPT.
KF ring comes later and with purely liver involvement it may be absent in up to 15% of patients.
I would advise you to go for 24hour urinary copper test.
