Assay using succinyldithiocholine as substrate: the method of choice for the measurement of cholinesterase catalytic activity in serum to diagnose succinyldicholine sensitivity.

Abstract excerpt

No comparative information is available concerning the ability of various cholinesterase (ChE) methods to identify succinyldicholine-sensitive patients, purely on the basis of the enzyme activity recorded in serum. Here, we evaluated six different methods for the measurement of ChE activity; 131 subjects were subdivided according to ChE phenotype and, therefore, to succinyldicholine sensitivity. ChE phenotype was...
