The Cholinesterase test is a blood test that measures the activity of the enzyme cholinesterase in the blood. Cholinesterase is an important enzyme that plays a key role in the functioning of the nervous system by breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The test is primarily used to monitor exposure to certain chemicals, such as organophosphate insecticides or nerve agents, which can inhibit cholinesterase activity and lead to neurological symptoms. The test is also used to monitor liver function, as cholinesterase is produced by the liver and a decrease in its activity can indicate liver damage or disease. The test is performed on a blood sample, and the results are typically reported as a numerical value that is compared to the laboratory’s reference range to determine if cholinesterase activity is within a normal range or if further investigation is necessary. A healthcare provider may recommend treatment or further testing based on the results of the test and other factors such as symptoms and medical history.
