Antibiotics are a family of medications used to treat against bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. Numerous side effects are associated with antibiotic use and extremely high doses of antibiotics can have severe consequences. In present investigation, the approach was to study the effect of Amikacin sulphate on liver and kidney of albino rat. As this drug is reactive and the prolonged 9- days treatment to the albino rat created histopathological changes. It destroy the structure of hepatocytes, sinusoids, endothelial cells, Kuffer cells and bile canalicule in the hepatic cords. Where as in the kidney Bowman's capsule, glomerulus and their capillaries are degenerated. The cell wall of proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henley's, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule are diminished. These effects are dose dependant. Due to this histopathological changes in liver and kidney will not perform their normal physiological functions. The excessive drug may destroy the liver and kidney, affect the physiology and at last leading to death of animal.

Abstract


Antibiotics are a family of medications used to treat against bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. Numerous side effects are associated with antibiotic use and extremely high doses of antibiotics can have severe consequences. In present investigation, the approach was to study the effect of Amikacin sulphate on liver and kidney of albino rat. As this drug is reactive and the prolonged 9- days treatment to the albino rat created histopathological changes. It destroy the structure of hepatocytes, sinusoids, endothelial cells, Kuffer cells and bile canalicule in the hepatic cords. Where as in the kidney Bowman's capsule, glomerulus and their capillaries are degenerated. The cell wall of proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henley's, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule are diminished. These effects are dose dependant. Due to this histopathological changes in liver and kidney will not perform their normal physiological functions. The excessive drug may destroy the liver and kidney, affect the physiology and at last leading to death of animal.
