[Cholinesterase in the differential diagnosis of parenchymal and obstructive icterus and in the differentiation between malignant and benign obstruction].
Determination of CHE has already been proven as a useful test in the diagnosis of liver diseases. Our investigation included 2 groups of patients: a group suffering from parenchym hepatitis caused by virus infection A and B, and a second group of patients suffering from etiologically different obstructive hepatitis (malign and benign obstruction). Our tests show that there is lower CHE activity in patients with hepatitis B. There is a remarkable difference of CHE activity in benign and malign obstructive hepatitis.
