Summary
Environmental toxins are a primary cause of chronic diseases. This editorial proposes assessing patient toxin load by identifying exposure, measuring damage, and reducing toxin elimination.
Area of Science:
- Environmental toxicology
- Chronic disease epidemiology
- Clinical toxicology
Background:
- The chronic disease pandemic is largely driven by environmental pollutants, including toxic metals, metalloids, and chemicals.
- Widespread population exposure to these toxins means there are no unexposed control groups for comparison.
- Effective clinical management necessitates quantifying the contribution of toxicant burden to a patient's overall disease state.
