Emergency Alert: Ethylene Glycol Toxicity Screening

The lab analyst measures the sample’s level of ethylene glycol, a very toxic, sweet tasting compound. This solution is very dangerous, and the lab test report, if positive, should be a panic value, meaning one that the lab urgently reports to the clinician. Ethylene glycol is the primary component in antifreeze, used in the coolant systems of most automobiles. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
