Book Cholinesterase Test in Faridabad

Cholinesterase is an important enzyme needed by the nervous system to work properly and send signals throughout the body. The test looks for any chemical poisoning in the blood.

The chemicals that interfere with the working of cholinesterase are known as cholinesterase inhibitors. The chemicals include substances like carbamates and organophosphates. They are most commonly used in insecticides and have been used as chemical warfare agents.

These chemicals have been in use for the past few decades. When these chemicals enter the body, the person might experience difficulty breathing and general weakness in the muscles.

The test is recommended if certain symptoms of nervous system problems are seen in an individual. Those symptoms include:

• Weakness when a person bends their neck
• Nervous problems in the neck
• General weakness in the muscles
• Not being able to breathe normally
• Contact a doctor if you see these signs and get your tests done.

Generally, there is very little risk of any major symptoms inside the body. The person might feel slight pain (or some bruising) in the area where the needle has been pierced to take the blood. But those tend to disappear pretty quickly and not cause any major problems to the patient.

In very rare cases, the patient might develop blood collection under the skin or infection at the site where the needle was pierced. But that is a very rare occurrence and nothing major to worry about.

The blood is taken from the arm. The area is cleaned with rubbing alcohol, and the technician takes blood precisely.

There are minor risks that do not happen under general circumstances. The technicians just need to be a little careful.

Exposure to chemicals commonly used in pesticides causes this condition.
