Hi all
I have what I assume is a basic question for pharmacological and/or medical wizards. Obviously, everyone knows that acetaminophen damages the liver, especially in higher doses. My question is approximately how much is required to show abnormal liver function on a lab/blood work up? Not even alarming, but abnormal. This would be in the absence of other factors such as other drugs or alcohol.
For example: Take someone dosing 4g (the daily maximum) all at once followed by exactly another 4g at exactly 24 hours later. If they were to have bloodwork done, would they show abnormal liver function due to dosing the maximum dose two days in a row all at once? While it's certainly not a toxic dose I am simply wondering if this would produce any alarms or simply any abnormalities such as elevated levels?
Thanks for your thoughts and input.
