What happens during the disease - paraldehyde
Paraldehyde is an organic compound that, when consumed, is metabolized into acetaldehyde, which is then further metabolized into acetic acid. this process can cause an increase in oxidative stress, leading to inflammation and potential tissue damage. additionally, the metabolized acetaldehyde can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and other organs, leading to an increased risk of organ failure.
