Clinical Biochemistry in Toxicology by aswani69 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Clinical biochemistry can help identify target organs and potential toxins through examination of changes in blood and serum biomarkers. The liver is susceptible to toxic insult due to its role in biotransformation of toxins, and many toxins cause hepatotoxicity. Biotransformation involves phase I and II reactions to make toxins more water soluble and able to be excreted, but can sometimes activate toxins. Elevated markers of muscle, heart, liver, kidney and neurological damage may indicate toxic insult to
