An experimental study on impact of whole body gamma irradiation on liver function and kidney function.
Five groups of rabbits were used to investigate the effect of increasing doses of radiation on liver and kidney function. One group acted as a control group. The other 4 groups were exposed to increasing doses of whole body gamma radiation. 1-5Gy. The kidney and liver function tests were affected one week after exposure, except bilirubin level that was decreased immediately after exposure within 24 hours.
