The value of cholinesterase activity after Kasai operation

Cholinesterase (ChE) is an enzyme synthesized in the liver. The aim of this study was to determine the value of ChE as an index of liver function. We measured the ChE activity as well as the values of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, aminotransferases and albumin befor...

Zusammenfassung:	Cholinesterase (ChE) is an enzyme synthesized in the liver. The aim of this study was to determine the value of ChE as an index of liver function. We measured the ChE activity as well as the values of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, aminotransferases and albumin before and 7 days after Kasai operation in 25 infants with biliary atresia. The increased activity of ChE in plasma after Kasai operation was accompanied by a decrease of other measured values ( P
