The Pseudocholinesterase blood test measures the activity level of an enzyme called pseudocholinesterase in your blood. Pseudocholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down certain drugs, such as succinylcholine and some local anesthetics.
Sample Type: The test requires a small blood sample, typically obtained by drawing blood from a vein in your arm using a needle.
Normal Range: The normal range for pseudocholinesterase activity varies depending on the laboratory and the reference values they use. However, the typical range is around 5,000 to 8,000 units per liter (U/L).
Pseudocholinesterase deficiency, which can be detected through this blood test, is a genetic condition that affects the activity of the enzyme. People with low pseudocholinesterase activity may have an increased sensitivity to certain medications, particularly those that are broken down by this enzyme. If your test results indicate low pseudocholinesterase activity, your healthcare provider will take this into consideration when prescribing medications and may adjust dosages accordingly.
