“…Clinically, it presents as an icteric fever and myalgia, with multi-organ involvement (9). In addition to being caused by co-infections with other liverdamaging agents (30), fulminant hepatic failure appears to be linked to endothelial damage in the liver sinuses (31) observed a decrease in the expression of ATPase of NHE 3, aquaporin-1, and α-Na (+) K (+) ATPase in the cells of the proximal convoluted tubule. The expression of aquaporin-1 was preserved along the thin descending limb of Henle's loop in the outer medulla.…”
