“…The elevated creatinine level in the T. brucei-infected rats agrees with previous findings [39,43] and could be due to destruction of kidney cells resulting in the inability of the kidneys to excrete creatinine [43] . The decrease in creatinine levels when rats were given fraction 2c indicated that the ability of the fraction to provide some degree of protection to the kidneys during the course of the disease [11] .…”

“…The high levels of total bilirubin in infected rats in this experiment supports earlier observations in several trypanosome-infected animals [41][42][43] . The increase in bilirubin is suggestive of haemolytic anaemia which may be due to the activity of proliferating parasites.…”

“…In dogs normal values for AST and ALT are between 1-37 U/L and ALT-3-50 U/L [2,13] and according to Hines [14] -5-55 U/L and 5-107 U/L, respectively. Ezeokonkwo et al [15] show that infection (parasitic) in dogs caused a significant increase in the activities of AST and ALT on day 7, which coincides with our study. According to Quinn et al [4] , liver enzyme activities (AST, ALT) showed only mild to moderate increases during bacterial infection in dogs.…”

“…These changes are associated with some organ damages and monitoring of these changes after treatment could be helpful in prediction of treatment outcome and effectiveness of treatment. Increase in the ALT activity in T. b. brucei infection has been reported by various authors (Ezeokonkwo et al, 2012). In this study, expectedly, ALT activity was elevated in infected untreated rats by 14 days post infection.…”
