Abstract

The main objective of this article was to investigate the different types of laboratory analyzes for the detection of heavy metals in the body in cases of poisoning. For this purpose, a bibliographic review was carried out in different sources. Currently, pharmacology focuses on the study of how compounds such as heavy metals interact with biological systems, and in this case, how these metals can alter the normal function of the organism. The results obtained from these analyzes provide scientific evidence at the service of justice.
