Prediction of Kidney Damage in Ultrasound Compared with Dimercaptosuccinic Acid in Children with Pyelonephritis and Vesicoureteral Reflux

Background and purpose: Ultrasound is easily available, cheap, non-invasive and radiation-free that could be considered as an alternative to Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) in evaluation of kidney damage. The aim of this study was to determine the prediction of kidney damage in ultrasound compared with DMSA (standard method) in children with pyelonephritis and vesicoureteral reflux. Materials a...

Harmine recover kidney damage induced by morphine in male rats

Harmine is a harmal-derived alkaloid with antioxidant properties. The morphine produces free radicals and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of harmine against morphine- induced damage to the kidneys of rats. In this study, 64 male rats were randomly assigned to 8 groups: saline and morphine treated groups; harmine groups (5, ...

Hydrogen sulfide ameliorates the kidney dysfunction and damage in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rat

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) prevents and treats a variety of disorders via its cytoprotective effects. However, the effects of H2S on rats with cisplatin (CP) nephrotoxicity are unclear. The aim was to study the effects of H2S on rats with CP nephrotoxicity. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: control group, nephrotoxic group received sing...
