What is Paracetamol, Serum?

This test measures the level of paracetamol (acetaminophen) in your blood. It's typically used to assess potential overdose, monitor therapeutic levels, or evaluate liver function after ingestion.

Why is this test important?

Monitoring paracetamol levels is critical in cases of suspected overdose, as high concentrations can cause severe liver damage. It helps doctors determine the need for antidote treatment and guide patient management to prevent serious complications.

How to Prepare

Inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking. Fasting may be required depending on the reason for the test; follow your doctor's specific instructions.
