- Abstract
Postmortem changes in these detected cases are usually nil or in few cases late changes due to poison may be seen. Present study of histopathological changes in liver, lung and kidney in Organophosphorus poisoning is in relation to survival time after the consumption of poison along with that a suggestion that can have been proposed for quick diagnosis and early management of poisoning death. To study the effects of organophosphate on human body with particular reference to liver, lungs and kidney. The histopathological examination can support in arriving at the cause of death due to poisoning while toxicological analysis report is awaited. This can cut short the legal proceedings which is used to remain pending for evidence of poison from chemical analysis. Even though the histopathological findings are not specific for organophosphorus poisoning the progressive changes helps in the estimation of survival period after ingestion of poison and there by time since death before prior to autopsy.
