Abstract
Kidney cortex of rats and humans treated with low doses of Gentamicin have been examined both morphologically and biochemically. Specific alterations of the lysosomes (loss of activity of phospholipases; accumulation of phospholipid-like material) was detected as early as from 2–4 days of treatment. This finding is consistent with the concept that Gentamicin exerts its toxic action on kidney through lysosomal dysfunction.Keywords
