Serum neopterin and soluble <scp>CD</scp>163 as markers of macrophage activation in paracetamol (acetaminophen)‐induced human acute liver injury

Abstract

Both serum neopterin and sCD163 levels are significantly elevated following paracetamol overdose, and reflect the degree of macrophage activation in this condition. Serum neopterin in particular may have value as an early proxy marker of macrophage activation following paracetamol overdose.
