What are the Limitations of Histopathology in Toxicology?
While histopathology is a powerful tool, it has limitations. It is often a qualitative method, relying on the subjective interpretation of morphological changes. Additionally, it may not detect subtle biochemical alterations or provide information on functional changes that occur in tissues. Therefore, histopathology is often used in conjunction with other techniques, such as molecular and biochemical assays, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of toxic effects.
