Journal Title: Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
After cardiovascular disease, renal failure is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in the population worldwide. Humans are exposed to numerous plant toxins that cause deterioration of renal function with noticeable histopathological changes. Despite of extensive studies in past, recently only few articles have reported with an integrated approach to their nephrotoxic effects. In this article, we present plants which are involved in nephrotoxicity.
