Results and discussion

Effect levels
Remarks on result:
other: Increase in relative kidney weights; progressive alterations in function and structure of the kidney; time sequential changes of cortical tubules (4-8 h), collecting tubules (8-24 h) and papilla (24-48h)
Mortality:
no data
Clinical signs:
Increase in urine volume, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urine glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, relative kidney weights, and decrease in urine specific gravity
Gross pathology:
Progressive alterations in function and structure of the kidney: papillary edema, dillated collecting tubules, degeneration and necrosis; dillated tubules contained precipitated proteins and minerals
