Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
In the patient group treated with paracetamol: Difference in pharmacokinetic parameters of acetaminophen and six of its metabolites (APAP-Glc, APAP-Sul, APAP-OMe, APAP-GSH, APAP-Cys, and APAP-Cys-NAC) following the administration of paracetamol four times daily after 24 hours and 120 hours of treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints include the correlation between pharmacokinetic parameters of APAP and metabolites and levels of MiR-122. Furthermore, miR-122 levels of the patients treated with FICB and paracetamol will be compared with patients who received FICB only.
