Effect of allopurinol on the kidney function, histology and injury biomarker (NGAL, IL 18) levels in uninephrectomised rats subjected to ischaemia-reperfusion injury

Abstract: PURPOSE:To investigate whether allopurinol exerts a protective effect on kidneys by measuring new kidney injury biomarkers (NGALp, NGALu, KIM-1 and IL-18) and analysing the renal function and histology in uninephrectomised rats subjected to ischaemia-reperfusion injury. CONCLUSION: Allopurinol did not exert protective or damaging effects on the kidneys of rats subjected to ischaemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:

“…Moreover, renal I/R resulted in a significant increase in FE Na+ on the 2 time points of follow-up after ischaemia, suggesting a significant impairment of tubular function. These findings confirm that I/R injury to the kidney causes both glomerular and tubular dysfunctions, and are in agreement with those reported by others (Bussmann et al, 2014;Castro et al, 2014;Malek and Nematbakhsh, 2015;Punuru et al, 2014). Renal I/R injury is characterized by decreases in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular and glomerular damage, impairment in hemodynamic regulation and energy depletion (Malek and Nematbakhsh, 2015).…”

“…Allopurinol, an isomer of hypoxanthine, is an inhibitor of XO. Therefore, it may inhibit I/R injury by this mechanism 21 . In our present study, allopurinol preconditioning also restored renal function caused by 30 min IRI (Figure 1).…”

“…Bussmann et al 7 report that the duration of ischemia directly influences the levels of plasma creatinine and degree of renal injury: plasma creatinine levels increased twice after 25 minutes of ischemia and seven to eight times after 45 minutes, which is associated with significant necrosis. This information was important in this study to induce ischemia for a shorter period, ten minutes, in order to minimize injuries.…”
