How Is Parasympathetic Nervous System Toxicity Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of parasympathetic nervous system toxicity involves a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. Clinicians assess symptoms and patient history to identify potential exposure to toxins. Blood tests measuring acetylcholinesterase activity can confirm exposure to organophosphates and carbamates. In some cases, imaging studies or other diagnostic tests may be necessary to assess the extent of toxicity.
