The Evaluation of Serum Pseudocholinesterase
DESPITE numerous tests used in the diagnosis of liver disease, in manv cases it is still difficult to decide whether there is liver damage, and if so, how much. This study was done to evaluate serum pseudocholinesterase estimation as a routine test of liver function, and to conmpare it with certain commonly used tests, viz., serum bilirubin, zinc sulphate flocculation test, thymol turbidity tes...
متن کاملSusceptibility to leprosy and serum atypical pseudocholinesterase.
The pseudocholinesterase levels and the nature of the enzyme as shown by the dibucaine number (D.N.) were estimated in 720 controls and 420 lepromatous leprosy patients, and 301 tuberculoid leprosy patients. There was no statistical difference in the esterase levels between leprosy patients and normal controls. But the distribution of D.N. was significantly different in the leprosy patients co...
متن کاملThe silent gene for serum pseudocholinesterase.
The investigations of human serum pseudocholinestrase (acylcholine acylhydrolase) (International Union of Biochemistry, . i96i: 3.I.I.8) suggest the existence of four allelic genes controlling the formation of different enzyme types: gene Elu for usual esterase, Ela for atypical (dibucaine resistant) esterase, El' for a fluoride-resistant type, and Els for a 'silent' gene. The four genes result...
متن کاملSerum atypical pseudocholinesterase and genetic factors in leprosy.
The levels of pseudocholinesterase and its nature were studied in 390 leprosy patients and 343 control subjects. The levels of the enzyme in both leprosy patients and normal controls were comparable. The study of the nature of the enzyme by determining its dibucaine number showed that a statistically significant number of lepromatous patients had the atypical variety of the enzyme compared with...
متن کاملSerum Lipids and Lipoproteins
men at comparable ages. Hyperlipoproteinemia, cholesterol, and triglyceride elevations were more common in MI patients than in men in the random sample, occurring with greatest frequency in the younger patients. There was a trend toward higher mortality among patients with hyperlipoproteinemia. Types II A and B were very common in young patients. Serum cholesterol values were significantly high...
