Abstract

The aim of this paper is to compare the dynamics of urea and creatinine, in rabbits that are infected with Staphylococcus aureus (experimental) and in control groups. Blood samples from each rabbit were taken as follows: at 3 months of age, coinciding with 0 hours before infection, and 6, 24, 48, 72 hours and on days 7, 14, and 21 after S. aureus infection. The results showed significant decreasing between groups (P <0.05) of urea since 72 hours after infection to day 14. Significant increase in creatinine between groups was established on days 7 and 14 (P <0.01; P <0.05 respectively), and on the 6th hour after infection until the end of the experiment in the experimental group.
