Cholinesterase [Enzymatic activity/volume] in Serum or Plasma by calculation --Dibucaine

Cholinesterase Dibucaine SerPl Calc-cCnc

Definition

People with genetic variants or acquired deficiencies of plasma cholinesterase that result in lower enzymatic activity can have a very difficult time recovering from surgery. To identify these patients, tests using various inhibitory agents are performed. The most common inhibitors are fluoride and dibucaine. The degree to which the agent inhibits the enzyme (fluoride number or dibucaine number) can be used to predict neuromuscular recovery after surgery. Other inhibitors include chloride, RO 020683, and scoline. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Roche cobas Cholinesterase / Dibucaine Gen.2 test kit.
