Methanol
(Methyl alcohol)
Material: | Collect 3 – 4 ml EDTA-blood (External services: Medizinisches Labor Bremen) and transfer into special tube for organic solvents (brown bottle with black screw top). 10 ml urine (External services: Currenta Leverkusen) | Reference range | EDTA-blood: < 1,5 mg/l Urine: < 2.500 µg/l, biological limit value: 30.000 µg/l |
Indication | Suspicion if intoxication |
Clinical presentation | Acute methanol intoxication: Headaches, vomiting, colic, visual defects, shortness of breath and others. Chronic methanol intoxication: Visual defects, neuritis, conjunctivitis, heart and liver damage. |
Please note | Methanol absorption takes place as an admixture of various alcoholic drinks; In addition to this, methanol is produced endogenously and is metabolized in the liver by ADH (antidiuretic hormone). Alcoholics with permanently high C2H5OH levels (> 0,3 %o) may have an inhibition of methanol degradation and consequent accumulation in the organism. |
