Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Determination of the efficacy of silymarin in preventing renal toxicity due to gentamicin by measuring the malondialdehyde indicator, evaluation of thiol groups, isoprostane and deoxy guanosine, serum creatinine level, serum urea nitrogen, sodium, potassium and magnesium concentration, and calculating sodium, potassium, Magnesium and urea. Timepoint: Sampling from urine and blood (5 ml) of patients before starting the drug (day zero) and on days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, treatment with gentamicin. Method of measurement: Measurement of serum and urine levels of electrolytes, urea and creatinine using an autoanalyzer and Isoprostane and desoxy Guanosine indicator will be performed using ELISA and Zell bio kit.
