Histopathological studies with reference to chronic cadmium acetate intoxication in kidneys of squirrels.
نویسنده
چکیده
Histopathological alterations in kidneys have been studied in squirrels with repeated intraperitoneal injections of cadmium acetate at a dose of 1.0 mg Cd/Kg of body weight. Cloudy swelling, necrosis, denudation and destruction of tubular epithelium, focal aggregates of inflammatory cells, perivascular inflammation by chronic inflammatory cells and perinephric haemorrhage with infiltration by phagocytes containing haemosidirin were noticed after different exposure intervals. Squirrels revealed significant increase in body weight and kidney weight (P<0.05).

Cadmium (Cd) is a well-known nephrotoxic agent. Cd-induced renal dysfunction has been considered as one of the causes leading to the development of hypertension. The correlation between Cd concentration in blood and urine and cardiovascular diseases has been discussed in many epidemiological studies. A therapy with chelating agents is utilized for the treatment of toxic metal intoxication. Here...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the histological alterations induced by lead intoxication in the mice kidney. Eighteen mice (20-24g body weight) were divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each. First group served as control and was given normal saline solution as vehicle. The second and third groups were orally administered (10 and 150 mg/kg body weight) lead acetate respectively for 40 days....
