%X The current study was carried out to assess the nephrotoxicity induced by Cytosar in kidneys of rabbits from the histological aspect. The treated group with a dose of (50 mg/kg/daily) of Cytosar for 5 days, showed clear histological changes represented by glomerular atrophy and widening of BowmanĄŻs spaces, infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages within cortex, renal tubular necrosis, cortical hemorrhage and fibrosis as well as formation of tubular hyaline cast was also observed. The present study showed that Cytosar is a nephrotoxic drug when used repeatedly at this dosage which could lead to irreversible renal damage and finally renal failure
