Development Postnatal of the Kidney and Liver in Albino Rat Rattus Rattus, Histological and Biochemical Study

Objective: The primary goal of the current study was to look at histological, histochemical, and biochemical aspects of the development structure of rat's kidney and liver. Materials and Method: Seventy eight samples of kidney and liver were obtained from rats at days; 1, 5, 10, 15, 36 and 90 after birth and processed for histological, histochemical and biochemical techniques. Results: Up to the fifth day, new nephron anlages develop in the renal cortex. After ten days, the final anlages form into functional nephrons, and fifteen days after the corticis forms, the cortex seems mature. The collecting ducts and loops of Henle expand longitudinally to form the renal medulla. The immature medulla is structurally similar to the later inner stripe of the outer zone and cannot be split into distinct zones. Within ten days, the inner zone was developed, and within fifteen days, the outside zone's stripe. The kidney tubule's diameter increased with age, the renal medulla was mature at 36 days, the kidney was covered in a moderate amount of collagen fiber, and the henle loops were lengthy at certain ages, but short at adult age. Adults had larger corpuscle and nephron lumens. In contrast, the thick renal capsule at other ages contained less collagen fibers. A tiny renal gap encircling the glomeruli and a notably greater quantity of fibers were visible in adult Bowman's capsules. The liver was encased in a thin capsule on the first day of birth and a thick capsule between 36 and 90 days later. On day 15, the cells surrounding the central veins began to arrange themselves in a regular fashion. The hepatic parenchyma could be seen by symmetrical hepatic cords, which emerged from the central veins as radiating columns. After five days, Von Kuffer cells began to line the sinusoids next to the endothelial cells. On the tenth day, the hepatic sinusoids took on a more regular appearance, stretching between the hepatic cords and joining the central veins. The hepatic lobules with their central vein were visible at the age of 15 days. The capsule then thickened and elastic fibers started to show up. The reticular fibers also thickened and spread, and in 36 days, collagen fibers started to show up in the portal areas. Based on histochemical data, every PAS, AB, and PAS-AB stain was highly reacted with brush in renal and hepatic cells. In conclusion: The kidney and liver developed differently after birth and reached their mature, typical structures in 36 days.
