Heavy metals and metalloids: copper

rame

Copper is widespread in nature and is an essential element for many life forms. In the metabolic disorder known as Wilson’s disease, copper accumulates in the body leading to hepato-lental degeneration. Apart from Wilson’s disease, metallic copper has no toxicity. Soluble salts can be corrosive to living tissue and in a dose of 10 grams can be fatal to humans.

Diagnosis and treatment

For this type of poisoning there is no analysis, so therapy is chosen according to the needs of the moment. Treatment is based on resuscitative therapy, with blood transfusions if hemolysis requires it.
