Photomicrographs of kidney hematoxylin and eosin cross sections. a Section of control group showing the kidney cortical tissue with Malpighian corpuscles (m), proximal (p), and distal (d) tubules. b Section of the kidney in CA group showing hypertrophy in the Malpighian corpuscles with reduced Bowman’s spaces, adhesions between the glomerular tuft and Bowman’s capsule (long arrows), renal tubular degeneration is characterized by rupture of the apical surface of tubule cells and necrotic nuclei (short arrows). c The section in CA group showing epithelial vacuolation of renal tubules (arrow) and obliterated lumen (arrowheads). d The section in CA group showing some renal tubular epithelial cells with a marked highly hydropic change (asterisks) and other with fatty change (fc). e Section of CA + FU group showing less or no changes in comparison with CA group, a degenerated glomerulus (arrow), and degenerated tubule (arrowhead) are noticed.
