Abstract EN
The study investigated the possible toxic effects of potassium carbonate emulsion on some biomarkers of tissue damage in rabbits.
Exposure of rabbits to potassium carbonate (K2C03) emulsion at 50mg / L and 100mg / L via oral drinking for 14 consecutive days caused significant increase in the creatinine and uric acid at 100mg / L by 48.6% and 126.3% respectively.
Also, potassium carbonate (K2C03) emulsion significantly increased serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) at 50mg / L and 100mg / L concentration.
The results however suggested that potassium carbonate emulsion exposure via oral drinking could precipitate kidney damage.
