title: Phenylbutazone-induced nephrotoxicity in the rat.
abstract: Male Wistar rats showed reduced urinary concentrating ability after 2 weeks' administration of phenylbutazone at 200 mg/kg/day. Male Sprague-Dawley rats showed progressive proteinuria and developed renal papillary necrosis when given phenylbutazone at 200 mg/kg/day for 13 weeks. It is suggested that strain differences exist in the nephrotoxic profiles of rats given high doses of phenylbutazone.
