How are Toxic Effects on the Parasympathetic System Diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. A detailed patient history, including potential exposure to toxic agents, is essential. Laboratory tests may include measuring cholinesterase activity levels in the blood, which can indicate exposure to organophosphates or carbamates. Additional tests like ECG and pulmonary function tests may also be performed to assess the extent of parasympathetic involvement.
