Paracetamol is a commonly used pain reliever and fever reducer that effectively treats mild to moderate pain and fever. However, in cases of overdose, paracetamol can be converted into a toxic metabolite (NAPQI), which may cause severe liver damage. Even with long-term and frequent use of low doses, paracetamol can impact liver function, particularly in individuals with other risk factors such as liver disease or alcohol consumption. A blood test to analyze P-Paracetamol measures the concentration of the drug in the blood and is crucial for assessing the risk of toxic effects, even with chronic use.
The analysis of P-Paracetamol is based on measuring the drug's concentration in plasma or serum. The blood test is performed using advanced methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or immunological techniques, ensuring precise and reliable results. This test provides insight into whether the levels are within a safe range or if frequent use may have contributed to liver strain, even at low doses.
Long-term daily intake of paracetamol, even within therapeutic limits, may warrant investigation if you:
Normal levels of P-Paracetamol are below 33 nmol/L. Toxic concentrations typically exceed 300 nmol/L, depending on the time since ingestion. If long-term use is suspected to have an impact, it may also be valuable to measure liver markers such as ALAT, ASAT, and PK-INR for a comprehensive assessment of liver health.
