Cholinesterase 14,500 is not considered high and is within the normal range.
Cholinesterase is divided into acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is mainly found in red blood cells, lungs, brain tissue, sympathetic ganglia, and is mainly used to hydrolyze acetylcholine; pseudocholinesterase belongs to glycoprotein, synthesized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum of the liver, and is mainly found in blood or plasma. Cholinesterase is mainly used for the diagnosis of liver diseases and organophosphorus poisoning.
The reference value of cholinesterase is 5410 to 32000 U/L, so cholinesterase 14500 U/L is normal. Elevated cholinesterase is mainly seen in renal disease, obesity, fatty liver, hyperthyroidism, schizophrenia, hemolytic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, etc. Decreased cholinesterase is mainly seen in organophosphorus toxicity, liver disease, malignant tumors, malnutrition, pernicious anemia, oral estrogens or contraceptives.
When cholinesterase is abnormal, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a professional physician.
