Abstract:
The current study aimed to detect the effect of Piroxicam in making behavioral, hematological and physiological changes in the kidneys of adult male albino mice Mus musculus, The present study also included measuring the diameters of glomeruli, proximal and distal convoluted tubules as well as the histopathological study.A total number of (128) adult male albino mice were utilized in this study, they were randomly distributed into four main groups, the first three groups were orally treated with concentration (50, 100, 150) mg/kg respectively, the forth group considered as control group were orally treated with (0.1) ml of distilled water for eight weeks, the samples were collected every two weeks for the histological study, blood samples were withdrawn for the hematological and physiological studies.The current study showed that there were behavioral changes observed on the experimental animals, represented by reluctance to food intake, lethargy, tremor, introversion, fast breathing, change in eye’s color and blackened feces, and the intensity of these symptoms increases with the increment of concentration and administration period.The statistical study results revealed that there was significant decrease at (P<0.05) in the mean numbers of red blood corpuscles, hemoglobin concentration and the percentage of packed cells volume in orally treated groups with (50, 100, 150) mg/kg for (6, 8) weeks of administration in comparison with control group, as for the white blood cells the statistical results for this study showed significant increase (P<0.05) in their mean number in treated groups with concentration (100, 150) mg/kg for (6, 8) weeks of administration compared to the control, whereas the groups treated with concentration of (50) mg/kg showed no significant changes along the administration period.Also all the concentrations showed significant differences (P<0.05) in the mean concentration of urea, creatinine and potassium ion in the blood serum of orally treated mice at the last weeks of administration in comparison with the control group.The statistical results of the present study also revealed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the mean diameters of renal glomeruli of the treated groups with concentration (50, 100, 150) mg/kg for eight weeks while there were non - significant differences in other periods, also there was non - significant decrease in the mean diameters of proximal convoluted tubules in the treated groups with concentration of (50, 100, 150) mg/kg in all periods except the period four weeks it showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the mean diameters of proximal convoluted tubules of the groups treated with the concentration (100, 150) mg/kg in comparison with control group. The statistical results also clarified that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the mean diameters of distal convoluted tubules of the treated groups with concentration (100, 150) mg/kg for six and eight weeks of administration, while the group treated with concentration (50) mg/kg had no significant differences over the whole administration period.The study also recorded the presence of histopathological symptoms in the kidneys of treated mice with the dose (50)mg/kg represented by hemorrhage, vascular congestion, calcium casts formation inside the lumens of renal tubules, while the groups treated with (100)mg/kg of the drug showed a fibrin deposition inside renal tubular lumens, infiltration of inflammatory cells, cytoplasmic vacuolation in the epithelial cells of the renal tubules, and sloughing epithelium of renal tubules, while in the medullary region, there were epithelial cells atrophy in the renal tubules. The histological examination of mice kidneys treated with (150) mg/kg showed the appearance of hyalinization, shrinkage and complete loss of glomeruli, Pyknosis of nucleus and fibrosis around the blood vessels as well as the presence of oedema which occupied a large area of the kidney tissue
