LOINC display name : Cholinesterase Dibucaine Calc [Catalytic activity/Vol];
LOINC long common name : Cholinesterase [Enzymatic activity/volume] in Serum or Plasma by calculation --Dibucaine;
LOINC short name : Cholinesterase Dibucaine SerPl Calc-cCnc;
LOINC description : People with genetic variants or acquired deficiencies of plasma cholinesterase that
result in lower enzymatic activity can have a very difficult time recovering from
surgery. To identify these patients, tests using various inhibitory agents are performed.
The most common inhibitors are fluoride and dibucaine. The degree to which the agent
inhibits the enzyme (fluoride number or dibucaine number) can be used to predict neuromuscular
recovery after surgery. Other inhibitors include chloride, RO 020683, and scoline.
This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Roche cobas Cholinesterase
/ Dibucaine Gen.2 test kit.;
