Abstract
Background: P.clarkii hemolymph has several pharmacological activities against inflammation, bacteria and tumor. The current study aimed to explore the efficacy of P.clarkii hemolymph against the renal toxicity induced by Gentamicin (GM) in rats. Methods: The animals were divided randomly into three groups (six per group): control, GM and P.clarkii. Tissues toxicity was established after injection of GM daily for eight days at a dose 100 mg/kg. Kidney functions, liver functions, oxidative stress markers and histopathology of tissues were investigated in the study. Results: P.clarkii treated rats showed a significant decrease in urea, creatinine, uric acid, ALT, AST, and MDA levels while GSH and CAT levels increased. The histology of kidney investigation showed partial restoration of renal architecture. Conclusion: The study results revealed the protective role of p.clarkii hemolymph against gentamicin-induced acute kidney injury in rats.
