Serum cholinesterase: effect on the action of suxamethonium following administration to a patient with cholinesterase deficiency.
Purified serum cholinesterase 90 mg was administered to a patient with cholinesterase deficiency. The effect on the action of suxamethonium was studied. The half-life (44.7 h), time constant (64.5 h), rate constant (0.0155 h-1) and distribution volume (2740 ml) of the cholinesterase activity were determined.
متن کاملPostoperative serum cholinesterase activity following successful renal transplantation.
For 6 months after renal transplant serum cholinesterase concentrations were measured in 10 patients. The value decreased in the first 15 days after operation, but was normal thereafter. Liver function tests were normal throughout the study; the cholinesterase changes were independent of immunosuppressive therapy.
متن کاملCalorimetry of cholinesterase activity in serum.
Cholinesterase activity in human serum was measured calorimetrically and compared to values obtained with the spectrophotometric method of Rappaport et al. [Clin. Chim. Acta 4, 227 (1959)]. The response of the calorimeter upon mixing serum with acetylcholine corresponded to the cholinesterase activity of the serum, the thermogram peak height being linearly related to enzyme activity at serum di...
متن کاملSerum cholinesterase activity and arterial blood pressure.
Conflicting data have appeared in the literature regarding serum cholinesterase and blood pressure. The studies reported here were undertaken to establish or refute the existence of a direct relationship between these two factors. Two types of studies were performed. First, serum cholinesterase activity was measured in 63 unselected hypertensive patients. Second, a selected group of seven hyper...
متن کاملThe Clinical Stability of Serum Cholinesterase Activity.
Intra-individual variation of serum cholinesterase activity as determined in 82 normal adults studied 373 times over periods up to 5 years is found to be relatively low. The over-all coefficient of variation was 8.4, the linear correlation between the first and subsequent tests in the same person was r = .87 (first versus second test in 82 subjects) and r = .90 (first versus seventh test in 14 ...
