Histopathological alterations in kidneys have been studied in squirrels with repeated intraperitoneal injections of cadmium acetate at a dose of 1.0 mg Cd/Kg of body weight. Cloudy swelling, necrosis, denudation and destruction of tubular epithelium, focal aggregates of inflammatory cells, perivascular inflammation by chronic inflammatory cells and perinephric haemorrhage with infiltration by phagocytes containing haemosidirin were noticed after different exposure intervals. Squirrels revealed significant increase in body weight and kidney weight (P<0.05).
