The Pseudo Choline Esterase test measures enzyme levels in the blood to assess liver function and evaluate response to certain medications.
The Pseudo Cholinesterase OPC poisoning test measures the activity of cholinesterase enzymes in the blood. These enzymes are essential for proper nerve and muscle function, as they break down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. This test is mainly used to detect and monitor exposure to organophosphate compounds (OPC) and carbamate pesticides, which can inhibit cholinesterase activity and cause poisoning. It also helps evaluate liver function since the liver produces these enzymes
The purpose of this test is to
