Cholinesterase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of acetylcholine into acetate and choline. Dosing is recommended in the event of any suspicion of organophosphate intoxication (OP), with anticholinesterase activity: OP inhibits cholinesterase at cholinergic synapses and prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine. Dosing of cholinesterase also allows the evaluation of hypersensitivity of patients pre-operatively to muscle relaxation anaesthesia (succinylcholine) corresponding to a congenital deficit with reduced butyrylcholinesterase levels.
