Histological, histochemical, and Immunohistochemical alterations were examined in liver .Samples from El-Riah El-Menoufy and downstream of El-Rahawy area, indicated that, the Last one is more suffered from many histopathological changes than those collected from El-Qanater El-Khyria.As well as, a decrease in carbohydrates distribution, an elevation of different types of fiber and a strong caspase-3 expression are detected. The histopathological damages were related to the discharge of water loaded with sewage in El-Riah El-Menoufy and El-Rahawy drain, which consequently may affect fish and human health.
