A report of unusually high blood ethanol and acetaldehyde levels in two surviving patients
Alcohol Clin Exp Res.
1985 Jan-Feb.
Abstract
Two men with unusually high blood acetaldehyde levels of 750 and 2410 micrograms/dl presented only mild symptomatology. Their blood ethanol levels, 730 and 1121 mg/dl, were also extraordinarily high. However, liver function tests demonstrated no abnormalities.
