Identification of New Mechanistic Biomarkers of Adverse Response to Acetaminophen
This study is a non-intervention, multicenter study to address biomarkers of acetaminophen
toxicity in children. Specifically, the study will examine acetaminophen (APAP) protein
adducts and markers of liver injury in the blood samples of hospitalized children and
adolescents who are receiving standard doses of acetaminophen, and children and adolescents
who are status post acetaminophen overdose. Ultimately, the data generated from this study
will be used to establish second generation biomarkers of acetaminophen toxicity, based on
specific adduct proteins, which can be used in future risk assessment studies of children
receiving acetaminophen.
