Abstract

The kidney as a primary excretory organ is a major route of elimination for numerous xenobiotic agents. In the process, it is liable to the hemodynamic and injurious actions of drugs due to their concentration in the kidney. In this brief review, a number of methods for assessing kidney function (e.g., serum creatinine, enzymuria, inulin, and PAH clearances, etc.), with their advantages and limitations, are described. Various acute and chronic animal models (rats and dogs) commonly used in performing safety evaluation of drugs are described; several antihypertensive drugs are cited as examples. These models can be modified with varying number of measurements, depending on the pharmacological activity of test drugs, animal species, specific issues (e.g., vascular vs. tubular effects), pathophysiological conditions, etc.

The inter- and intraobserver reliability of the walking-track analysis of sciatic nerve function in the rat was assessed. Twenty-five walking tracks were assessed on three different occasions by four observers. Whereas the interobserver reliability was found to be excellent (r = 0.92), the intraobse
