Cholinesterase Serum Test

The Cholinesterase Serum Test evaluates enzyme levels that support nerve function and metabolism. Reduced cholinesterase activity can indicate liver dysfunction, inherited enzyme deficiencies, or exposure to pesticides and other toxins. This test provides valuable insight into liver health, detoxification ability, and potential toxic exposures, while supporting assessment of overall systemic function.

The Cholinesterase Serum Test test contains 1 test with 1 biomarker .

Approximately 1 in every 2500 individuals has inherited a defective enzyme or a deficiency of the enzyme (Pseudocholinesterase) that metabolizes succinylcholine (an anesthetic agent). With a "normal" dosage, these individuals have prolonged apnea. Such individuals are responsive at much smaller concentrations of this anesthetic agent than the general population. Low concentrations of Pseudocholinesterase are observed in individuals exposed to organophosphorous insecticides and in patients with hepatic dysfunction.
