Zinc and copper blood test - serum or whole blood ? : biology

Last test showed low serum zinc and copper but good whole blood zinc, copper deficient in whole blood. What does this tell me? Am I zinc deficient or not ? I'm sure that I'm copper deficient. I was never able to get my copper levels up, even without high zinc foods or supplements for years, but high copper food and supplements.

Serum copper and caeruloplasmin concentrations are elevated in various carcinomas, but it is not known whether the rise in serum copper is due to elevation of caeruloplasmin alone or whether it is also due to the elevation of 'free' copper. We therefore determined ultrafiltrable copper to answer this question.
