Acute kidney injury (AKI) score (absence of brush border, presence of vacuolization, desquamation, cell debris, and hyaline casts). (A): Representative photomicrographs (light microscopy) of kidney tubules stained with periodic acid–Schiff reagent (PAS). Absence/derangement of the brush border in proximal tubular epithelia (▴), tubular cell vacuolization (→), and tubular obstruction due to the presence of cellular debris or casts (*) in kidney histological sections of 6–8 animals (original magnification, × 200). (B): AKI score. Data are shown as median [interquartile range]. Comparisons among all groups were done using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's post hoc test. Five percentage ALB: 5% albumin; 20% ALB: 20% albumin. * vs. Saline; # vs. 5% ALB. For all comparisons, significance accepted at p < 0.05.
