A decrease in serum ceruloplasmin (Cp), a protein involved in iron metabolism through its ferroxidase activity, is classically claimed to be observed in severe hepatic failure of non-wilsonian chronic liver disease and therefore to be a confounding factor for the diagnosis of Wilson's disease. Moreover, a simultaneous decrease in ferroxidase activity could be hypothesized as playing a role in the development of the hepatic siderosis frequently observed in advanced chronic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to test the validity of these two statements.
