40-65% Glucuronidation
Sulfation 20-45%
Phase II

NAPQI
Mercapturic acid (nontoxic)
Glutathione
Necrosis
Biotransformation APAP

Why centrilobular?
• Increased p450 • Decreased glutathione
Phases of Tox
• Phase I (0.5-24 hour) – nausea, anorexia, malaise
• Phase II (24-72 hour) – “quiescent” phase, LFT’s rise, RUQ pain
• Phase III (72-96 hour) – Hepatic necrosis, jaundice, encephalopathy
• Phase IV (4 days–2 weeks) - recovery

Prognosis
• Treatment within 10 hrs – Mortality <1%
Kings College Criteria
• Ph < 7.30 = Mortality ~80%*
• Encephalopathy + coagulopathic (INR>6.5) + Renal Failure (Cr>3.3) = Mortality ~80%*
Acetaminophen and the Fetus
• APAP crosses the placenta
• Important cause of fetal demise
• Prior to 16 weeks fetus has low p450 activity (protective)
• N-acetylcysteine crosses the placenta
Anaphalactoid reactions
• Dose dependent
• Cutaneous (most common)
• Transient flushing, urticaria, pruritus, edema
• Systemic (rare)
• Hypotension, wheezing
• Highest risk group brittle asthmatics
Uncommon APAP
• Altered mental status & metabolic acidosis – 5—Oxoproline
• Decreased glutathione synthetase activity
• Hemolytic Anemia – G6PD deficiency
• Isolated Renal Failure
• NAC – increases INR
Aspirin • Derived from Willow Bark
• Inhibits cyclooxygenase

Symptoms ASA concentrations 150 – Death/dL
100 – CNS, CV collapse, Non cardiogenic pulmonary edema
75 – Lethargy, worsening acidosis, fever
50 – Tinnitus, hyperventilation, metabolic acidosis
10 mg/dl – Antiplatelet, antipyretic
30 mg/dl – Anti-inflammatory, mild tinnitus, nausea
Chronic Salicylism
• Elderly • chronic pain
• More likely to present with fever, altered mental status, and pulmonary edema
• Poor correlation between levels and toxicity
Unrecognized Adult Salicylate Intoxication ���Anderson R, et al Annals of Internal Medicine 1976; 85:745
73 ASA Poisoned Adults
Group I N = 53 Inten0onal Inges0on Mean Age 32 Mortality 2%
Group II N= 20 Uninten0onal Mean age 53.4 Delayed Diagnosis 6-‐72 h Mortality 25%
Treatment • Alkalinization
• Increases urinary elimination/decrease tissue levels
• Elevated level (>35 mg/dL)
• Symptomatic
• Metabolic acidosis
• Renal clearance increased 20 fold at urine pH 8.0 vs pH 5.0
Rationale for alkalinization
Acidic condi0ons
Alkaline condi0ons
Salicylate pKa = 3.0 so it tends toward a HA (non-ionized) form under acidic conditions and in A-(ionized) form in alkaline conditions

Cyclo-oxygenase NSAID-reversible ASA-irreversible
Vasodilatation, erythema, edema, pain, fever, smooth muscle contraction, GI cytoprotection
Effect of Renal PG’s • Dilate afferent renal arterioles
• Increase GFR in low flow states • Release renin= aldosterone release
• K+ secretion into DT • Inhibit ADH effects on DT
• H2O diuresis • Inhibit Na+ resorption in LOH
• Natriuresis
General Toxicity
• GI (N/V) • Metabolic acidosis • CNS depression • Renal
• Dehydration + NSAID = Renal insufficiency • Hyperkalemia
NSAID Unique Toxicity
• Seizures – Proprionic acids, mefenamic acid
• Prolongation of PT – Proprionic acids, mefanamic, indomethacin
• Hepatitis – mefanamic acid, naproxen
Carbon Monoxide
• Number one cause of poisoning deaths
• Produced during incomplete combustion
• Endogenous (heme breakdown)
• 2nd messenger increases cGMP
CO physiology
• CO binds tightly with iron complex of Hemoglobin
• Binds similar to O2
• Dissociates 200 – 300 less readily
• Decrease arterial O2 content
Left – Leaves O2
Right – Releases O2
