Cholinesterase

Cholinesterase testing monitors workers handling organophosphate and carbamate pesticides, which inhibit this enzyme and cause neurotoxicity.

What this test is

The test measures cholinesterase enzyme levels in blood. The enzyme breaks down a neurotransmitter; when inhibited, it causes excessive salivation, blurred vision, muscle twitching, breathing difficulty and, in severe cases, can be life-threatening.

What it is used for, and who should test

  • Surveillance of farmers and workers spraying or manufacturing these pesticides
  • Baseline testing before starting exposure so individual values can be compared later
  • Investigating suspected pesticide poisoning when a doctor requests it

Sample and preparation

Sample
2-3 mL of blood in an EDTA or serum tube as specified
Preparation
No fasting required. A baseline value before exposure is important; tell our staff if you recently sprayed pesticides or have neurological symptoms.
