How is Data from Toxicological Samples Interpreted?
Interpreting data from toxicological samples requires a thorough understanding of pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, and the toxicological profile of the substance in question. Factors such as the individual's age, weight, health status, and metabolism can influence the interpretation. Toxicologists must consider these variables to accurately assess exposure levels and potential health risks. Furthermore, reference ranges and toxicological thresholds are used to determine whether concentrations are within normal limits or indicative of exposure or poisoning.
