Incidence of acetaminophen in donated blood.
Acetaminophen levels were determined in 1,176 sera separated from donated blood. The analysis was performed by both a colorimetric method and by high performance liquid chromatography. 6.12% of the samples contained acetaminophen levels ranging from 18 to 58 microgram/ml. The possible clinical significance of such a high incidence of this drug among healthy blood donors is discussed.
