How Are Toxicant-Induced Hematological Disorders Diagnosed?
The diagnosis of toxicant-induced hematological disorders typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and exposure history. Blood tests, such as complete blood count (CBC), can reveal abnormalities in blood cell counts and morphology. Bone marrow biopsy may be necessary to assess marrow function and rule out other hematological diseases. Identifying a history of exposure to known toxicants is crucial in establishing a causal relationship.
