What should I do if cholinesterase is low by 1400?
Cholinesterase levels at 1400 U/L are commonly seen in conditions such as malnutrition, acute viral hepatitis, liver failure, and other diseases. Drug treatment should be administered based on the specific condition.
1. Malnutrition
When patients suffer from malnutrition, various bodily functions decline and fail to maintain normal physiological activities, resulting in low cholinesterase levels. In such cases, nutritional supplementation can be achieved under medical guidance using medications such as lysine granules (with five vitamins), fat emulsion injections, and amino acid infusions.
2. Acute Viral Hepatitis
During acute infection, the body may exhibit varying degrees of reduced response, leading to decreased cholinesterase levels. Under a doctor's supervision, treatment may include oral administration of amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium tablets, cefdinir dispersible tablets, or levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules.
3. Liver Failure
In patients with liver failure, cholinesterase levels decrease. Under medical guidance, medications such as lamivudine tablets, entecavir dispersible tablets, and adefovir dipivoxil tablets may be prescribed. In severe cases, surgical intervention may also be considered under medical supervision.
Besides the above-mentioned causes, severely low cholinesterase levels may also result from conditions such as severe anemia. Further hospital examinations are necessary to determine the underlying cause, followed by appropriate treatment under medical supervision.
