Abstract
Background: The use of drugs, including aminoglycoside drugs and anticancer drugs, is one of the things that can cause toxicity to the kidneys. Therefore, the development of agents that function as nephroprotectors continues to be researched. Objective: This study aims to obtain a nephrotoxic experimental animal model for testing nephroprotective agents. Method: The treatment was normal group, groups given a single dose of Cisplatin 7 mg/kgBW i.p (Cis), Doxorubicin single dose 25 mg/kgBW i.p (Dox-25), Doxorubicin repeated dose 4 mg/kgBW i.p twice/week for two weeks (Dox-4 repeated dose), and Gentamicin single dose 112 mg/kgBW i.p (Gen). The nephrotoxic effect was assessed by the parameters of kidney weight ratio, Ureum, Creatinine and Albumin levels in rat serum. Result: The nephrotoxic effect was indicated by an increase in the renal weight ratio of the Cisplatin; Dox-25, Dox-4 repeated, and Gen groups than normal, respectively. There was an increase in serum BUN levels, an increase in serum creatinine, and a decrease in serum albumin levels compared to the normal group. Conclusion: Cisplatin, Doxorubicin and Gentamicin have nephrotoxic effects. The administration of a single dose of cisplatin at 7 mg/kg BW gave the strongest nephrotoxic effect, making it appropriate as a model of acute nephrotoxicity in rats.
