Scintigraphic and Histopathologic Evaluation of the Protective Effect of L-Carnitine on the Development of Radiation-Induced Kidney Damage in Infant Rats

Introduction: Radiation-induced nephropathy (RIN) is an impairment of renal function caused by ionizing radiation developing after 6-12 months as acute, or years after chronically. This study aims to clarify whether L-carnitine has a protective effect in the prevention of RIN in an infant rat model or not.
