Aii: Normal control-Medullary area, showing intact collecting ducts. B: TAA group-Cortical area, showing swollen and necrotic tubular cells, inflammatory cells infiltrate the GL and intertubular area and thinning-out of the BM. C: VN 100 group- Cortical area exhibiting mild tubular epithelial changes with intratubular casts and mild intertubular inflammatory cells infiltration and GL look normal. D: VN 300 group - Cortical area, showing both GL and renal tubules appearing normal. H & E stain. Bar = 100 μm.
