Background

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious microangiopathic complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Photobiomodulation therapy (Pbm) is a non-pharmacological therapy based on the red spectral range. Studies with a CKD model in rats showed positive results in CKD after the application of Pbm, such as reduced blood pressure, increased glomerular filtration rate and decreased tubulointerstitial fibrosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of Pbm on the function of rats with DRD.

Methods

Wistar rats weighing 280-300 g randomized as follows: Citrate (CT): animals that received streptozotocin vehicle (citrate; iv, caudal, single dose); Diabetes Mellitus (DM): animals that received streptozotocin (STZ, 60mg/kg; iv; single dose); Diabetes Mellitus + Low-intensity laser (DM+Pbm): DM animals, in the third, were irradiated with a low-intensity infrared laser (wavelength 808nm, power 100mW, energy 3 Joule, a point on the right flank on the left, 3 times a week, 6 weeks). Renal function (serum creatinine-CrS; creatinine clearance; inulin clearance-Clin) and oxidative profile (urinary peroxides, lipid peroxidation) were evaluated.

Results

The DM group reduced renal function when evaluating serum creatinine, creatinine clearance and inulin, while the DM+Pbm group increased these parameters, attenuating the deterioration of renal function and improving the oxidative profile. The group subjected to photobiomodulation showed a reduction in oxidative stress compared to the DM group.

Conclusion

The results confirmed that photobiomodulation attenuates the reduction in renal function induced by diabetic kidney disease.
