Cholinesterase Levels

Serum Cholinesterase (pseudo)


The Serum Cholinesterase (Pseudo) test evaluates the activity of the cholinesterase enzyme, which is mainly produced by the liver. Low levels may indicate liver dysfunction, malnutrition, or exposure to certain chemicals such as pesticides. This test may also be used before certain surgical procedures to assess how your body may respond to anaesthesia. It helps doctors better understand liver health and overall metabolic function.
