A representative photomicrographs (light microscopy) of kidney parenchyma stained with hematoxylin–eosin. Photomicrographs are representative of data obtained from kidney sections of 7 animals (original magnification, × 400). Bars = 100 μm. Note the presence of interstitial edema (asterisk), brush border lesion (two arrows), and cellular desquamation (one arrow). B kidney injury score; scores arithmetically averaged from two independent investigators representing injury from interstitial edema, vacuolization, brush border lesion, desquamation, and inflammation are shown. Boxes show the interquartile (25–75%) range, whiskers encompass the range (minimum to maximum), and horizontal lines represent median values of 7 animals/group
