Toxicopathology

Toxicopathology is the study of how harmful substances affect our body's tissues and organs. In the field of medical toxicology, it focuses on understanding the damage that toxins—such as drugs, chemicals, or pollutants—can cause. By examining samples from patients, like blood or organs, toxicopathologists identify signs of toxicity and help diagnose conditions arising from exposure. This knowledge is crucial for developing treatments and preventive measures, ultimately aiming to protect people from the harmful effects of these substances.
