Description

Application
Hippuric acid is primarily used as a biomarker in clinical diagnostics toxicology occupational health monitoring and biochemical research to study metabolic processes and evaluate exposure to certain environmental or industrial chemicals.

Purpose
The purpose of measuring hippuric acid is to assess the metabolism of certain aromatic substances and in occupational and clinical settings to help monitor exposure to compounds such as toluene although it is not specific enough to be used as the sole

General Description
Hippuric acid is an organic compound naturally produced in the human body through the metabolism of aromatic compounds such as benzoic acid and is excreted in the urine.
