Evaluation of N-Acetyl Cysteine performance in acetaminophen poisoning using certain liver and renal factors in plasma

Abstract

Background: Annually, acetaminophen poisoning causes probable acute liver and renal failures in different societies. N-acetyl cystein (NAC), first suggested as an effective antidote to fight against acetaminophen poisoning in 1970, prevents the binding of NAPQI to hepatic cells.
