Acetylcholinesterase panel - Amniotic fluid

AChE Pnl Amn

Definition

  • Amniotic fluid acetylcholinesterase (AChE) detection panel to aid in diagnosing fetal open neural tube and ventral wall defects that develop in the early embryonic period. Fetal hemoglobin reflex testing is performed to rule out false positive AChE levels that may have been caused by specimen contamination with fetal blood. The patient's gestational age must be at least 13 weeks for accurate AChE detection, with the optimal gestational age ranging between 14 to 18 weeks.
