Butyrylcholinesterase as a prognostic marker: a review of the literature. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an α-glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. Its serum level decreases in many clinical conditions such as acute and chronic liver damage, inflammation, injury and infections, and malnutrition.
