2023年3月27日 · Copperiedus (copper toxicity) can be caused by consuming acidic foods cooked in uncoated copper cookware or exposure to excess copper in drinking water or other environmental sources.

Copper toxicity (or Copperiedus) is a type of metal poisoning caused by an excess of copper in the body. Copperiedus could occur from consuming excess copper salts, but most commonly it is the result of the genetic condition Wilson's disease and Menke's disease, which are associated with mismanaged transport and storage of copper ions.

Acquired copper toxicity can result from ingesting or absorbing excess copper (eg, from ingesting an acidic food or beverage that has had prolonged contact with a copper container). Self-limited gastroenteritis with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur.

Most human data on high-dose acute poisoning are based on cases of suicidal intent with the ingestion of copper compounds or accidental consumption of copper-contaminated foods and beverages. In such cases, it is difficult to estimate the quantity of copper consumed, whether it was in solid form, aqueous suspension, or solution.

Sudden (acute) copper poisoning is rare. However, serious health problems from long-term exposure to copper can occur. Severe poisoning can cause liver failure and death.

Copper Toxicity develops from a buildup of stored bio-unavailable copper in the body. The liver is the primary storage location, with the brain the secondary location of copper accumulation. Copper can also be found in the heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen, lungs, bone and muscle.

These diseases, characterized by severe liver toxicity, are described briefly in Section 2.4, Hepatic. This toxicological profile is focused on the effects of excess copper exposure from exogenous sources (i.e., not resulting from impaired excretion of copper).
