[Bile salts, copper, ceruloplasmin in meal test]. / Sali biliari, rame, ceruloplasmina in corso di "meal test".

Biliary salts determination after meal test is an useful liver function test. We evaluated both biliary salts and copper-ceruloplasmin after meal test in different liver diseases. Copper-ceruloplasmin determination does not seem to be useful in the diagnosis of liver diseases because copper has only partial hepatic clearance.
