Cadmium is a contemporary hazardous metal that is released into the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and soil as a by-product of zinc and lead mining and processing, resulting in environmental degradation. The kidney is the organ most impacted by chronic cadmium exposure in humans. The goal of this study was to see what effects intraperitoneal acute administration of CdCl2 (0.32 mg/kg b.w.) had on albino mice's kidneys. Two groups of adult male albino mice were created: a control group and a hazardous group. Some biochemical characteristics were determined using the blood of mice from each group. The administration of cadmium resulted in a significant (p0.001) decrease in body weight and kidney weight. When compared to the control group, cadmium treatment reduced total glycogen, cholesterol, and total proteins. Furthermore, it increased serum urea, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen in the toxic group while decreasing alkaline phosphate.
