Figure 1From: Protective effect of EDTA preadministration on renal ischemia Effect of EDTA administration on renal function after Isc and Isc/R. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were measured. Rats that received intravenous injection of EDTA; 30 minutes before Isc or Isc/R induction; showed reduced levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen as compared with control rats (controls = C); lsc = ischemia; lsc/R = 60 minutes kidney ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion. *p < 0.05.Back to article page
