Comment on “A Sustained Reduction in Serum Cholinesterase Enzyme Activity Predicts Patient Outcome following Sepsis”

الملخص EN

We consider extremely interesting the article on the prognostic implications of reduced serum butyrylcholinesterase activity (BChE-A) in sepsis by Zivkovic et al., which was published in [1].

Moreover, this group of investigators previously characterized the decrease in BChE-A in severe systemic inflammation in critical illness and brought other important contributions to the topic in this same journal [2] and elsewhere.

Their work, by using a point-of-care testing system for frequent BChE-A monitoring, could provide very refined information.
