How Can Toxicology Help in Preventing Stone Formation?
Toxicologists play a vital role in understanding and mitigating the risks associated with stone formation due to exposure to certain chemicals. This includes:
Identifying and regulating exposure to nephrotoxic agents that can contribute to stone formation. Developing guidelines for safe levels of exposure to chemicals known to precipitate in the renal system. Researching safer alternatives to substances that are commonly implicated in stone formation.
