In the group Analgesics, Acetaminophen and

reported.

Acetaminophen
• First synthesized and used in the late 1800’s
• “Rediscovered” in 1950
• A metabolite of phenacetin, it was not
widely accepted in the medical community
until the 1970’s

Binding to cellular proteins
leading to hepatic and renal
injury
NAPQI Toxicity
• A highly reactive electrophile
• Covalently binds to and arylates critical
cell proteins leading to cell death
• This process is not inevitable
• This process may be prevented, interrupted,
and reversed
Organ Toxicity
• NAPQI-derived
– Liver – begins in zone 3 (centrilobular)
– Renal – Acute Tubular Necrosis
• Multiorgan failure
– Heart, kidney
• Poorly defined
– Brain
– Pancreas
Anatomy of a Liver Lobule
Normal Liver
Cirrhosis
Centilobular necrosis
Number of people
Most people took less than they
say they did, except for those
who took more.
Clinical evidence of toxicity
• Phase 1 – 0-24 hours
– Nausea, vomiting, nothing
• Phase 2 – 24-72 hours
– RUQ pain, elevated liver enzymes, prolonged PT
• Phase 3 – 72-96 hours
– Hepatic necrosis, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, ATN
• Phase 4 – 4 days- 2 weeks
– If damage is not irreversible, complete resolution of
hepatic dysfunction will occur
Toxic Dose
• Acute overdose is usually considered to be a
single ingestion
• Generally, 7.5 gm in an adult or 150 mg/kg
in a child are the lowest threshold capable
of toxicity
Risk Assessment
• Fatalities are relatively uncommon
• The overwhelming majority of APAP
exposures result in no toxicity
• The antidote is very safe
Risk Assessment
• Plasma GSH is not related to hepatic GSH
availability
• Protein adducts (NAPQI bound to hepatic
proteins) are measurable, but follow hepatic
necrosis

• 11,000 patients enrolled
• 2,200 patients treated
• 8 hour treatment window

• pH < 7.30

• PT > 100sec, Creatinine > 3.4 mg/dL, grade III+

Laboratory predictors of poor prognosis:

GI Decontamination
• Very rapid GI absorption
• Activated Charcoal
– Very early presentation
– Co-ingestants
– Adsorbs to NAC
N-Acetylcysteine therapy
• Prevents toxicity by limiting NAPQI
formation
• Increases capacity to detoxify formed

Late NAC Therapy
• Decreased hepatotoxicity when treatment
begins 16-24 hours post ingestion
Smilkstein, Knapp, Kulig, Rumack. N-Acetylcysteine in the treatment of
acetaminophen overdose. N Engl J Med 1989;320:1418
• IV NAC begun after onset of fulminant
hepatic failure decreased need for
vasopressors, and decreased incidence of
cerebral edema and death
Keays, Harrison, Wendon, et al. Intravenous acetylcysteine in paracetamol induced
fulminant hepatic failure: A prospective trial. Br Med J 1991;303:1026-1029
Other Benefits of NAC
• Improved oxygen delivery and utilization in
extrahepatic organs
• Helps preserve cerebral blood flow
• Possibly due to mediation of microvascular
tone
Treat everyone the Same?
• Only the 17dose oral NAC regimen has
been extensively studied – in the US
– 140 mg/kg loading dose – 17 doses 70 mg/kg
po
• Shorter courses of therapy
• Longer courses of therapy
What about IV NAC?
Con
Pro
• No vomiting
• Consistent delivery
• Only route studied for
fulminant hepatic
failure
• Pregnancy?
•
•
•
•
Anaphylactoid response
No first-pass effect
More costly
No guarantee of sterility
or pyrogen free
The long-awaited…
• 150 mg/kg in 200mL
D5W over 15min
• 50mg/kg in 500mL
D5W over 4 hours
• 100 mg/kg in 1L D5W
over 16 hours
Non-acute ingestions
• Hepatotoxicity is rare
• Usually seen in pediatric population
– Poor label-reading
– Mom & Dad…

Methylsalicylate – rapid deterioration
Follow levels closely with: arterial pH,
clinical condition
• Serum levels > 100mg/dL

Management
• Decontamination
• Blood work
– ABG
– ASA level – mg/dL
– Electrolytes – K+, BUN/Cr
• Fluid resuscitation - a return to
euvolemia
• Electrolyte repletion
• An appropriate cry for help?
GI Decontamination
• Activated Charcoal
• Multiple Dose Activated Charcoal (MDAC)
• Whole Bowel Irrigation (enteric coated)
ABG Describes the Toxicity
• Early – pure respiratory alkalosis
– 7.50 / 30
7.60 / 20
• Later – add metabolic acidosis
– 7.47 / 25
• Late – severe toxicity
– 7.40 / 15
Urinary Alkalinization
• Acidemia facilitates transfer of ASA into tissue
• Acetazolamide creates alkyluria AND metabolic
acidosis
• NaBicarbonate – increases urinary elimination 10-20
times

Bolus 1-2 mEq/kg followed by 3 amps
(132-150mEq) in 1 L D5W at 1.5-2 times maintenance
Urine pH 7.5-8.0
Serum pH not to exceed 7.55
Urinary Alkalinization
• Alkalinizing urine from pH 5-8 increases
renal elimination of ASA from 1.3 mL/min
to 100 mL/min
• Serum half-life decreases from 48 hours to
6 hours

Problems with Alkalinization
• Pre-existing Hypokalemia
• Hypokalemia from serum alkalinization
– Collecting tubule will excrete H+
– Urine pH remains low
– Elimination remains limited
• CHF
• Poor Renal Function
