How Does Health Status Affect Toxicological Outcomes?
An individual's health status, including pre-existing medical conditions, can significantly impact their response to toxic substances. Conditions such as liver or kidney disease can impair the body's ability to eliminate toxins, leading to increased susceptibility to toxic effects. Additionally, individuals with compromised immune systems may be less able to mount an effective defense against toxic exposures. Understanding these health-related factors is essential for tailoring preventative and therapeutic strategies.
