“…8,14 The predominant hepatic source of serum cholinesterase, the marked decrease in its synthesis with hepatocyte dysfunction and restoration of synthesis with hepatocyte recovery suggests that serum cholinesterase activity might be a more specific indicator of liver dysfunction than the traditional liver function tests. 15 Despite all the studies, this simple biochemical test is not routinely done as a liver function test worldwide.…”

“…It is essential for the degradation of acetylcholine, after impulse transmission has been mediated. 7,8 The sensitivity and specificity of serum cholinesterase were estimated about 90% and 100% respectively by Gokani et al 8 and they conclude that it must be added as a routine diagnostic test beside other liver function tests for investigation of liver dysfunction. The estimation of serum cholinesterase reflects hepatocellular damage and is regarded as a sensitive indicator of liver diseases.…”
