What is the significance of toxicokinetics in toxicology?
Toxicokinetics refers to the study of how a substance enters, moves through, and exits the body. Understanding the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of toxins helps predict the onset, duration, and intensity of toxic effects. This knowledge is crucial for determining the timing and method of interventions, such as when to administer hemodialysis to enhance toxin elimination.
