Abstrakt: The current study was designed to investigate the possible protective effects of ethanolic extract of Zingiber officinale on renal damage induced by mercuric chloride intoxicate in rats. Forty albino adult rats (180±10g, n=10 per group) were administered HgCl2 (3mg/kg, Ip, 3 times weekly). The treatment of Z officinale extract (200 mg orally for 8 weeks. HgCl2 administration altered the body weight, kidney weight, chemical parameters of creatinine, urea, and MDA. Body, kidney weight the biochemical and histopathological findings of this study significantly(P≤0.05) showed a protective effect of a Z officinale extract against HgCl2 intoxication. In conclusion, Z officinale extracts may be an ideal choice against kidney damage induced by HgCl2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
