Japanese term or phrase: 体内銅排泄作用確認試験
Context: Wilson's disease

My guess is "copper excretion studies" but I am worried it is not specific like the Japanese term...

English translation:urinary copper excretion (measurement) test
Explanation:
I think 体内銅排泄 should be interpreted as urinary copper excretion.
you don't have to focus too much on 確認.
IMHO, I may use "determination/measurement of" urinary copper excretion in my own translation.

Anyway, a test of urinary copper excretion will do the job.

Body copper excretion confirmative test


Explanation:
In Wilson disease, body's copper excretion is confirmed by 24 hour urine copper excretion. So this is actually urine copper excretion, but if we translate this into urine copper excretion, that would be a kinf of 'jump'

diagnostic test (evaluation) of (for) urinary copper excretion


Explanation:
Indeed ,this is to evaluate (or measure) urinary excretion of copper in body. I would take'確認’as 'diagnosis'.'確認’or’認める’appears in diagnostic test to detect abnormalities(in this case, to detect negative copper balance or to investigate the diagnostic value of urinary copper excretion testing). So I would use 'diagnostic' as a word equivalent to '確認’.
