Serum copper

What effect does very high serum copper have? I also have very low serum zinc levels. What could cause this?

I have numbers now.

My serum zinc is in the low range of normal (13 umol/L range = 10 – 18)
My serum copper is high. (23.2 umol/L range = 12.0-22.0)

Is there nothing that can cause this? Prolonged bad diet?

Maybe I need to put this American test units....

The "safe" levels are :
12 - 22 umol/L
or
76 - 140 ug/dl

Now to compare. My levels are now....

23.2 umol/L October 2009 (148 ug/dl)
49.2 umol/L January 2010 (313 ug/dl)
43 umol/L February 2010 (274 ug/dl)
46.1 and 45 umol/L March 2010 (294 and 287 ug/dl)

Anybody? You in the back? ah, right... you were scratching your ear... *tumbleweed*....
