Abstract

Tramadol is used worldwide and is listed in many medical guidelines to treat both acute and chronic pains. There is a growing evidence of abuse of tramadol in some African and West Asian countries. Tramadol has some side effects. The present study designed to follow up the treatment of the cellular responses which might be induced in the kidney of tramadol mice. Treated mice received daily injection of tramadol dose (125 μg/100 g b.wt) for 20 and 40 days. Other mice received tramadol for 40 days and then were divided into three groups: the first received distilled water, the second received Lagenaria siceraria, and the third received melatonin daily for 40 days. Both the daily injection of tramadol for 20 and 40 days resulted in radical, extensive, and severe alterations in the normal histological architecture of the kidney. Treatment with Lagenaria siceraria or melatonin after tramadol administration for a long-term, markedly changed the collagen content and other chemical components, that may reach nearly normal levels. Such findings propose that although tramadol has many cytological and histopathological side effects on the kidneys of male mice, the treatments via Lagenaria siceraria and melatonin have effective therapeutic impacts on the tramadol side effects.
