Subsequently, using ophthalmic puncture method, their blood was used to measure BUN and creatinine levels. Results: The mean of BUN concentration in the control group was 37.68±3.89 and in the case groups received 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg of hydroalcholic extract of Ginger during 48 h were 21.54±11.38 (p
