Abstract
In experiments with 76 rats it was demonstrated that withdrawal of fluoride from fluoride-intoxicated rats caused an improvement in the interstitial inflammation and a marked reduction of the dilated convoluted tubules and Henle loops of the kidney.

Complete Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus After Prolonged Sevoflurane Sedation: A Case Report About 3 Cases.
Volatile anesthetic agents, such as sevoflurane, are increasingly used for long-term sedation in intensive care units worldwide, with improved clinical outcomes reported in recent studies due to favorable pharmacological properties. Despite possible renal toxicity related to the production of plasma inorganic fluoride and concerns related to reversible impairment of renal

Hesperidin protects liver and kidney against sodium fluoride-induced toxicity through anti-apoptotic and anti-autophagic mechanisms.
Highlights Hesperidin prevented NaF-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Hesperidin attenuated NaF-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Hesperidin reduced NaF-induced apoptosis and autophagy. Aim High dose of fluoride intake is associated with toxic effects on liver and kidney tissues. One approach to tackle these toxicities is using natural antioxidants as supplements. This study evaluated

[Renal and hepatic changes in albino rats treated with NaF microdose]
The authors, in order to study histologically the effect on the liver and kidneys of salt-fluor, have administred NaF orally to eighty rats, at the dosage of 0.02 mg % per kg of weight. The animals were decapitated on the 180th day of the experiment. The histological test of the kidneys

Histopathological changes of renal tissue following sodium fluoride administration in two consecutive generations of mice. Correlation with the urinary elimination of fluoride
The present study was designed to investigate the toxic effects (evaluated as histopathological changes) of sodium fluoride on the kidney in two consecutive generations of NMRI mice. An attempt to correlate the toxicity with the urinary elimination of fluoride has been made, as urinary fluoride excretion has been widely used

A case of distal renal tubular acidosis, Southeast Asian ovalocytosis and possible fluorosis
A 39-year old man had periodic paralysis due to hypokalaemia. Investigations led to the diagnosis of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) and Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO). Both can originate in mutations of the anion-exchanger 1 gene (AE1), which codes for band 3, the bicarbonate/chloride exchanger in both the red cell

Kidney: A potential target for fluoride toxicity
The kidneys are the organ responsible for clearing fluoride from the body. In the process of doing so, the kidneys are exposed to concentrations of fluoride that exceed, by a factor of 50, the concentration of fluoride in human blood. As such, the kidney have long been considered a potential

Fluoride Gels & Kidney Function
Scientists have found that the application of "Fluoride Gels" at the dental office causes very high spikes in the blood fluoride level. The high spikes in blood fluoride levels are a result of three factors: the high concentration of fluoride in the gel (= 12.3 mg of fluoride in each

Fluoride as a Cause of Kidney Disease in Animals
Because the kidney is exposed to higher concentrations of fluoride than all other soft tissues (with the exception of the pineal gland), there is concern that excess fluoride exposure may contribute to kidney disease - thus initiating a "vicious cycle" where the damaged kidneys increase the accumulation of fluoride, causing in

Fluoridation of drinking water and chronic kidney disease: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
A fairly substantial body of research indicates that patients with chronic renal insufficiency are at an increased risk of chronic fluoride toxicity. Patients with reduced glomerular filtration rates have a decreased ability to excrete fluoride in the urine. These patients may develop skeletal fluorosis even at 1 ppm fluoride in the drinking water.
