How Does Health Status Influence Toxicological Responses?
Pre-existing health conditions can significantly impact how an individual responds to toxic exposure. For instance, individuals with impaired liver function may have difficulty metabolizing and eliminating toxins, resulting in prolonged and enhanced toxic effects. Similarly, those with compromised immune systems may be less able to respond to and recover from toxic insults. Healthcare providers must consider these factors when assessing the risk of toxic exposure and determining appropriate interventions for patients with underlying health issues.
