ABSTRACT   The current work was undertaken to evaluate the nephrotoxic effect of Ketoprofen on adult male rats. Eighteen rats were divided into two groups. Ketoprofen- received group (I) included 10 rats were administered Ketoprofen at a therapeutic dose of 13.5 mg/kg by I/M injection daily for 4 successive weeks. Five rats were randomly selected from group I and sacrificed at 2 and 4 weeks of the experiment. The control group (II) that received olive oil included 8 rats, where 4 rats were sacrificed after2 weeks and the rest of rats were sacrificed after 4 weeks. Tissue specimensfrom kidneys of all groups were collected for histopathological examination as well as the serum was obtained for the determination of biochemical parameters. The histopathological examination of group I showed glomerular changes such as expanding of glomerular matrix, glomerular sclerosis and congestion of glomerular capillary in the cortex. Renal tubular degeneration and necrosis accompanied with infiltration of inflammatory cells in interstitial tissue in both cortex and medulla were also observed. The biochemical results revealed that animals in group I showed a significant increase in malondialdehyde, creatinine, and urea compared to the control group, while total antioxidant capacity was numerically decreased. In conclusion, the therapeutic dose of Ketoprofen caused damage in kidney tissue even if was taken for a short period as well as altered biochemical parameters.
