Effects of repeated extracorporeal shock wave on kidney apoptosis of normal and diabetic rat

Abstract: Objective: To assess the effect of repeated extracorporeal shock waves (ESW) on the apoptosis of renal parenchyma in normal and diabetic rats by the caspase-3 expression. Materials and methods: 80 rats were assigned for ESW (Direx Tripter X1® -14 KVA) to one of three groups with 50% rats with diabetes (A) and 50% normal (B) in each: G1 (n = 40): no ESW; G2 (n = 20): one ESW; G3 (n = 20): two ESWin an interval of 14 days. The animals were sacrificed 3 days after the ESW and samples of the renal parenchyma were … Show more

“…We are aware of only two reports showing that kidneys of alloxan-induced diabetic rats were more susceptible to the injurious effects of SWL than nondiabetic rats-greater degree of parenchymal hemorrhage and apoptosis, which was particularly evident after repeated SWL sessions. 26,27 If the damage to the renal parenchyma is permanent, and of sufficient magnitude, then undoubtedly there will be functional consequences. And, the potential for functional deterioration following SWL may be evident in the setting of CKD or compromised renal function.…”
