Abstract
The severity and mechanisms of action of environmental and drug nephrotoxicity needs to be evaluated. While impaired renal function has often been based on chronic exposure studies, little attention has been paid to acute effects, especially renal dysfunction that occurs shortly after exposure to heavy metals or drugs. It may be difficult to define such changes in the whole animal, but in vitro techniques offer a simpler solution to assessing such changes.
