Pseudocholinesterase (OPC Poisoning) ( BC0046 )

Description

Pseudocholinesterase is a liver-synthesized enzyme that hydrolyzes choline esters in plasma. Its activity drops markedly in organophosphate (OPC) and carbamate poisoning, making it a key screening and monitoring marker for exposure and recovery.

Pseudocholinesterase measured by kinetic Ellman method is a key marker for organophosphate and carbamate poisoning. Reduced enzyme activity reflects toxin exposure and guides treatment monitoring, while also indicating liver synthetic function and susceptibility to certain anesthetic agents.
