Paracetamol overdose causes concentration-related intestinal toxicity, and this is a possible explanation for the early hyperlactatemia syndrome. Intestinal toxicity has potential impacts on pharmacokinetics of other agents ingested and on the evolution of hepatotoxicity. Further studies are required to explore the mechanisms and prognostic implications of intestinal toxicity.
