Description
This serum test measures the concentration of acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) in the blood. It’s primarily used to diagnose and monitor cases of acetaminophen toxicity or overdose. Acetaminophen is a common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer, but excessive doses can cause severe liver damage. The test is crucial in emergency settings to determine the severity of an overdose and guide treatment decisions. It’s also used to monitor the effectiveness of antidote therapy in overdose cases. The results help healthcare providers assess the risk of liver damage and determine the need for further interventions.
