Cholinesterase Report Format — Sample & Free Download
A Cholinesterase test measures the activity of cholinesterase enzymes in the blood, most often used to check for pesticide (organophosphate) exposure and to assess liver function, since the liver produces this enzyme.
This is a real report generated by Dr.Lably LIS — not a mockup.
When is it ordered?
- Monitoring occupational exposure to organophosphate or carbamate pesticides
- Evaluating suspected pesticide poisoning
- Assessing liver synthetic function alongside other liver tests
- Pre-anesthesia screening in some clinical settings, since certain anesthetic drugs are broken down by this enzyme
Test details
- Specimen type
- Plasma
- Turnaround time
- Same day (6 hours)
Cholinesterase report format breakdown
| Parameter | Unit | Normal range | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cholinesterase Inhibition | % | 0 - 20 | Higher inhibition percentages can indicate recent organophosphate or carbamate exposure. |
| Cholinesterase Activity (Pseudo) | U/L | 3000 - 8000 | Low activity can indicate pesticide exposure, liver disease, or certain genetic variants. |
| Specific Cholinesterase | U/L | 1000 - 4000 | Also known as acetylcholinesterase; low levels are a more specific marker of organophosphate exposure. |
| Cholinesterase | U/L | 4300 - 13000 | An overall marker of enzyme activity; low levels can reflect liver dysfunction or pesticide exposure. |
Frequently asked questions
What does a Cholinesterase report format include?
The report lists Cholinesterase Inhibition %, Cholinesterase Activity (Pseudo), Specific Cholinesterase, and overall Cholinesterase, each with result, unit, reference range, and status — as shown in the sample report above.
Who typically needs a Cholinesterase test?
It's most often ordered for people with occupational pesticide exposure (farm or industrial workers), suspected pesticide poisoning, or as part of liver function evaluation.
What does low cholinesterase activity mean?
Low activity can point to pesticide/organophosphate exposure, liver disease, or in rare cases a genetic enzyme variant — a doctor will interpret it alongside symptoms and exposure history.
How long does a Cholinesterase report take?
Dr.Lably-powered labs typically report Cholinesterase results the same day, often within about 6 hours of sample collection.
