Abstract

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially lethal range of symptoms results from muscle cell destruction. It is recognized by the escape of cell contents such as myoglobin, creatine kinase, and electrolyte into the bloodstream then undergo glomeruli filtering. Therefore, among the most dangerous complication of rhabdomyolysis is acute renal injury. The complex and interrelated processes underlying rhabdomyolysis that ends with acute kidney injury include obstruction and damage of tubules, inflammation, and intrarenal vasoconstriction (activation of the sympathetic, renin-angiotensin).Glycerol is frequently used to inflict this kind of harm when used as a single dose injection that given intramuscularly to an animal model.

Aim of study: This study aims to evaluate the reno protective effect of ticagrelor in rat model of rhabdomyolysis condition (caused by glycerol injection) that leads to acute kidney injury.

Methods: Sprague Dawley adult male rats (thirty-five) were classified into (A) group of control (B) group of vehicles (C) induction group(glycerol) (D) vehicle with induction group (E) ticagrelor with induction group. The markers used in this study which include renal function tests (blood urea nitrogen and serum creatine) were measured by chemical analysis while interleukin one beta and caspase3 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results: when comparing the induction group(glycerol) to the group of control there is a significant increase in the serum creatine as well as blood urea nitrogen and renal tissue interleukin one beta in addition to renal tissue caspase3,on other hand all these markers reduced in the group of ticagrelor in contrast to induction group.

Conclusion: Ticagrelor reduced renal dysfunction in rhabdomyolysis caused by glycerol via reducing the potential for apoptosis and the body's response to inflammation in addition to its antiplatelets impact.
