Description
Summary:Abstract Objectives Kidney trauma is the most common urological trauma. Technological advances have made conservative management possible for almost all kidney trauma. However, grade five kidney trauma needs to be carefully examined due to its various complications, especially late complications that often delayed in recognition thus forming irreversible morbidity, with the most common late complication is kidney damage due to ischemic and fibrotic process. This study aims to confirm the effect of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) on the prevention of fibrosis in grade five kidney trauma using Wistar rat models, where the fibrosis process will be measured with histopathological examination which had features of glomerular sclerosis, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis in kidney tissue, then followed by histopathological scoring and total renal score. Methods A total of 22 adult rats were divided into five groups: one healthy control group, two trauma groups without ADSC, and two others trauma groups with ADSC. Two different treatment times were set: two weeks and four weeks after treatment. The data were tested for normality (Shapiro-Wilk test), while differences between groups were assessed using one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test if the distribution was not normal. Results For the result of total renal score, statistical analysis reveal a significant difference in the total renal score in the kidney trauma with ADSC group compared with kidney trauma without ADSC group in fourth week of observation (p=0.001). Conclusions These findings highlighted ADSC capability to prevent fibrosis caused by grade five kidney trauma on the Wistar rat models, as proven by significantly reduced histopathological grading on fibrosis.
