Examen de colinesterasa
Para realizar un examen de colinesterasa se inserta una aguja en la vena y se recolecta la sangre en un vial hermético o una jeringa. Se lleva la muestra al laboratorio para evaluar las enzimas acetilcolinesterasa y seudocolinesterasa. Estas enzimas tienen la propiedad de descomponer la acetilcolina, la cual es una sustancia química crítica en la transmisión de impulsos nerviosos.
