The present study was performed to compare renal injury induced by high acute doses of both the nonacetylated salicylate, salsalate (SSA) and the acetylated salicylate, aspirin (ASA). As a marker of renal injury, urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) were measured after oral administration of 600 mg/kg of each drug. Other tests to detect renal injury were also performed. Serum salicylic levels after SSA or ASA were determined in a different experiment. Acetaminophen (APAP) was used as a standard of renal toxicity. Both drugs increase NAG and to a greater extent, AAP excretion. Proteinuria and polyuria appear after both drugs. Changes in urinary sodium and potassium were also shown. Our results support the view that both acetylated and non-acetylated salicylates induce renal injury at toxicological doses.
