Copper and zinc have a reciprocal arrangement. When zinc is low copper becomes high and vice versa. So someone with high copper and not with the Wilson's mutation, may be low in zinc.
Other signs of low zinc are frequent infections and hair loss.
Zinc is critical for proper immune functions. Some drugs deplete it, ACE inhibitors are the most common,but acid blocking drugs also block its absorption since acid is needed for its absorption.
