Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) Level ( MI0038 )

Description

The Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) Level test measures the concentration of paracetamol present in the blood and is primarily used to assess the risk of drug toxicity and potential liver damage following suspected overdose. Paracetamol is one of the most commonly used over-the-counter medications for pain relief and fever reduction. While safe at therapeutic doses, excessive intake—either accidental or intentional—can lead to severe hepatotoxicity and acute liver failure, making early detection critical.

This test is commonly performed in emergency departments when overdose is suspected, in cases of unexplained liver dysfunction, or when patients present with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or altered consciousness after drug ingestion. Timely measurement and interpretation are life-saving and help prevent irreversible liver damage. Because interpretation depends on the time since ingestion, accurate patient history is essential for proper clinical use of this test.
