Table 5

Comparison of kidney function tests in the serum of different studied groups.

Parameters	Control	LS-treated	AlCl3-treated	AlCl3 then LS	AlCl3 plus LS
Creatinine (mmol/L)	0.30±0.02	0.29±0.04	0.45±0.11	0.31±0.02	0.33±0.05
Significance		P#=0.869	P#<0.001	P#=0.681; P##<0.001	P#=0.206; P##<0.001; P###=0.389
Urea (mmol/L)	36.21±2.57	36.00±4.62	52.23±4.76	44.06±6.43	48.46±8.17
Significance		P#=0.944	P#<0.001	P#=0.014; P##=0.011	P#<0.001; P##=0.220; P###=0.154

Data are expressed as mean +/- standard deviation. Comparison was made using One Way ANOVA test (LSD). P#: p value of comparison versus control; P##: p value of comparison versus AlCl₃ group; P###: p value of comparison versus AlCl₃ then LS group.
