Photomicrograph of rat kidney section. (a and b) Normal histology of kidney tissue in control and SA-treated rats (H&E ×200). (c) Marked tubular necrosis (asterisk) and massive mononuclear cell infiltration (arrow) in cortex of rats in GM-group (H&E ×200). (d) Section from rat treated with gentamicin (100 mg/kg) plus salicylic acid (100 mg/kg) reveal almost complete prevention of histopathological alterations (H&E ×200).
