Course content
The elective discipline "Fundamentals of Toxicology and Assessment of Toxicological States" is aimed at forming in students a systematic understanding of the sources, classification and mechanisms of action of toxic substances, the pathogenesis of acute and chronic intoxications, as well as the principles of laboratory diagnostics of toxicological states. The course examines the main groups of toxicants, their effect on organs and systems, laboratory markers of intoxications, methods of selection and preparation of biological material, interpretation of research results and the role of a laboratory diagnostics specialist in the detection and monitoring of toxic lesions. Special attention is paid to clinical and laboratory approaches to assessing the severity of intoxications and the principles of emergency care.
