The effect of LF (10 mg/kg/48 h, p.o.) and PZQ (300 mg/kg/day, p.o) co-treatment for 8 weeks on serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and albumin
| Groups | Serum creatinine (mg/dl) | BUN (mg/dl) | Albumin (g/dl) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 0.16 ± 0.01 | 32.52 ± 1.18 | 3.8 ± 0.23 |
| LF | 0.88 ± 0.01a | 69.15 ± 3.73a | 2.77 ± 0.14a |
| LF + PZQ | 0.25 ± 0.02ab | 45.48 ± 1.49ab | 3.31 ± 0.18ab |
| PZQ | 0.15 ± 0.01b | 34.2 ± 2.17b | 3.68 ± 0.22b |
Mean ± S.D. (n = 6) is how the data are presented. a, b: Statistically distinct from the control and LF groups, respectively, at P < 0.05, as determined by ANOVA with subsequent Tukey–Kramer post-hoc analysis
