This study was designed to investigate whether the short-term extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) exposure kidney produces an oxidative stress and a change in some trace element levels liver diaphragm muscles of rats. Twelve male Wistar albino rats were divided randomly into two groups, each consisting six The animals first group did not receive any treatment served as control group. right-side kidneys 2 treated with two-thousand 18 kV shock waves while anesthetized 50 mg kg(-1) ketamine. localization right achieved after contrast medium injection through tail vein under fluoroscopy control. killed 72 h ESWL treatment, harvested for determination tissue levels. Although malondialdehyde level increased, superoxide dismutase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activities decreased livers ESWL-treated increased liver, it animals. Fe, Mg Mn decreased, Cu Pb Fe Mg, Pb, Zn It also causes decrease or increase many mineral muscles, which is undesirable condition normal physiological function tissues.
