RBC cholinesterase levels are used to assess for toxicity following exposure to pesticides, as they inhibit the activity of this enzyme. Renin levels are used to assess for kidney function, reticulocyte count is used to assess for red blood cell production, and rheumatoid factor is used to diagnose autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
