Examination and assessment of target organ toxicity in toxicologic pathology of preclinical safety evaluation of drugs should combine the results of the gross pathology,histopathology and clinical pathology examination data in a well-considered,stepwise approach.In addition,the nomenclature and diagnostic criteria recommended by INHAND should be used to avoid subjective and inappropriate diagnosis.In this paper,we briefly introduced the basic principles for the examination of organ toxicity in toxicology studies,gross pathology,histopathology,diagnostic approach,procedures,and considerations,international harmonization of diagnostic term and criteria,clinical pathology parameters analysis,results of a well-concerted combination of anatomical and clinical pathology data so as to provide some reference for the examination and assessment of target organ toxicity in toxicologic pathology in the field ofpreclinical safety evaluation of drugs in China.
