The vital functions that blood cells perform, together with the susceptibility of this highly proliferative tissue to intoxication, make the hematopoietic system unique as a target organ. Accordingly, hematotoxicity ranks alongside toxicity to the liver and kidney as among the most important considerations in assessing risks to humans from pharmaceutical, occupational, and environmental chemical exposures.
