Brief Description
Cholinesterase activity measurements are used as a test of liver function in patients with acute and chronic hepatitis, liver sclerosis, as an indicator of insecticide poisoning and as a means to investigate atypical variants of the enzyme. A decreased level of enzyme activity is an indication of any of the above conditions. CHE is also used to identify patients with low enzyme activity before administration of muscle relaxants of the succinylcholine type. CHE activity is regarded as the most important indicator of degree of intoxication by organophosphorus pesticide.
