Abstract:

Purpose: To figure out whether camel milk has the ability to alleviate adenine-induced chronic renal failure in rats or not. Methods: Rats with adenine-induced chronic renal failure received intragastric administration of camel milk, distilled water or Niaoduqing once a day for 28 consecutive days. As a normal control, normal rats were given distilled water. During this time, the average body weights of all the rats were measured periodically and they were subjected to determination of some blood and urine biochemical parameters, kidney coefficient calculation and renal histopathological observations at the end of administration. Results: Compared with distilled water, camel milk could reduce serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urine 24-hour protein levels, regulate Ca and P levels and increase SOD and TP levels in rats with chronic renal failure after 28-day administration. Conclusion: camel milk has remarkable alleviating effect on chronic renal failure in rats.
