Analytical Toxicology

Analytical toxicology is a branch of medical toxicology that focuses on testing and analyzing biological samples, like blood or urine, to identify harmful substances, such as drugs, chemicals, or poisons. It helps doctors understand what substances might be causing illness or adverse effects in a patient. By using advanced laboratory techniques, analytical toxicology provides precise information that guides treatment decisions and helps ensure patient safety. Ultimately, it plays a crucial role in diagnosing toxic exposures and managing their effects effectively.
