Abstract EN
Kabab chini (KC) (Piper cubeba) is an important drug in Unani Medicine, widely described to be effective in renal diseases, and physicians are using it as a protective and curative agent in various renal disorders from ancient times.
The present study was designed to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of KC against gentamycin-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats.
This was studied in two different sets of tests, in which both the protective as well as the curative effects were evaluated in groups of albino rats.
The powder of the test drug was administered orally in a dose of 810 mg / kg and 1220 mg / kg, in suspension form, in the pre- and post-treated models.
The nephroprotective effect was assessed on the basis of biochemical estimation of serum urea and creatinine levels and histopathologically examination of the treated kidney.
The effect observed in the pre-treated and post-treated groups was compared with plain as well as negative control groups using one-way ANOVA with Dennett's multiple pair comparison test.
The findings of the two tests demonstrated that KC produced a significant nephroprotective effect in both pre-treated and post-treated groups.
The results of our study indicate that KC possesses significant benefit against gentamycin-induced nephrotoxicity.
