Abstract
beta-glucuronidase is considered a sensitive biomarker for acute organophosphorus poisoning. In this well-documented study, multiple plasma samples over time were collected. A decrease in plasma concentration of beta-glucuronidase was surprisingly observed, even within normal range. These findings do not support the hypothesis that beta-glucuronidase is a useful biomarker for acute organophosphorus poisoning in humans.
