Effects of high-energy shock wave on organs adjacent to the kidney in the growing rat

Abstract: HESW applied to rat did not inhibit the animals' growth and caused transitory histological lesion in spleen (proliferative changes in the red pulp) and in liver (cloudy swelling of hepatocytes). Such changes were observed only in the group that was exposed to HESW and was sacrificed 7 days following the experiment, presenting spontaneous recovery.

“…The lack of a consensus concerning the choice of time interval to repeat ESWL is due to enormous variability of particular conditions found in the use of ESWL in humans 4,7,20 and the limitations of the animals model [19][20][21] . Our animal model suggests that the mild vascular injury on the renal parenchyma can be recovered in fourteen days, as is showed by the current reports in the biomedical literature 16,18,22 . On the other hand, on diabetic rats the occurence of HF with repetead ESW (A2) was more frequent in the three areas (subcapsular =40%; interstitial =30% and glomerular =10%) than with a single ESW (A4) in the same three areas (subcapsular =25%; interstitial =15% and glomerular =15%).…”

“…These concerns have been partially disproved by animal experiments that showed no long lasting influence on bodily growth and no permanent effect on both female and male reproductive systems (15,16). Moreover, the use of a small focusing area provided by the modern devices offered less damage to surrounding tissues (17).…”
