What is the normal range of cholinesterase levels?

Cholinesteraseis an important criterion for liver function testing. Due to different detection methods, there may be some differences in the normal range of values. Under normal conditions, the normal range of cholinesterase is 4.3-10.5 U/L. When the activity of cholinesterase is lower than the normal range, it indicates that the activity of cholinesterase is reduced, and there may be certain liver damage or liver diseases that should be taken seriously.

The normal value of cholinesterase is an indicator of liver function testing, and the normal range is generally 4.3 to 10.5 U/L. However, due to different detection methods, reagents, and instruments, there may be differences in the normal range. For example, the normal range of cholinesterase measured by colorimetry may be 130 to 310 U/L.

What to do if cholinesterase activity is reduced? Since serum cholinesterase is synthesized by the liver, its activity can reflect the condition of the liver. In particular, when the activity decreases, it indicates liver damage, such as acute viral hepatitis. The degree of reduction in serum cholinesterase is related to the severity of the disease. If serum cholinesterase continues to decline, it often indicates poor prognosis. At the same time, cholinesterase can also be used as an indicator to judge the degree of liver cirrhosis. For example, in compensatory cirrhosis, serum cholinesterase is normal. In decompensated cirrhosis, serum cholinesterase will show a significant decrease. In patients with extrahepatic biliary obstruction, if serum cholinesterase decreases significantly, it should be警惕 whether biliary cirrhosis has occurred.
