LOINC code49230-6
nameAcetylcholinesterase [Enzymatic activity/mass] in Red Blood Cells
descriptionUsed in diagnosis of pesticide toxicity or succinylcholine toxicity. Also used to evaluate paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Cholinesterase activity is completely and irreversibly inhibited by organophosphate containing pesticides.

Fully-Specified Name

componentAcetylcholinesterase
propertyCCnt  =  Catalytic Content
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemRBC  =  Erythrocytes
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
