Toxicity from ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol, and isopropyl alcohol varies widely, and appropriate use of the available laboratory tests can aid in timely and specific treatment. Available testing includes direct measurements of serum levels of these alcohols; however, these levels often are not available rapidly enough for clinical decision making. This article discusses the indications and methods for both direct and indirect testing for ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol, and isopropanol toxicity. Also discussed are the costs, availability, and turn-around times for these tests.
乙醇、甲醇、乙二醇和异丙醇的毒性差异很大，合理运用现有的实验室检测有助于及时进行针对性治疗。现有检测包括直接测量这些醇类的血清水平；然而，这些水平往往无法快速得出，以供临床决策使用。本文讨论了乙醇、甲醇、乙二醇和异丙醇毒性直接和间接检测的适应症及方法。还讨论了这些检测的成本、可获得性和周转时间。
