Resumo
Objetivo: Avaliar a atividade renal de camundongos infectados com Schistosoma mansoni Cepa BH e tratados com Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745, por meio da quantificação de marcadores bioquímicos, visando investigar possíveis efeitos protetores do probiótico sobre a função renal durante a esquistossomose. Métodos: Camundongos fêmeas Swiss Webster (n=70) foram infectados com Schistosoma mansoni Cepa BH e sete grupos experimentais foram formados, incluindo controles negativos e positivos, grupos tratados com Saccharomyces boulardii por diferentes períodos e um grupo tratado com Praziquantel. Após as intervenções, foram mensurados os níveis séricos de ácido úrico, lactato, ureia, creatinina e albumina como indicadores da função renal. Resultados: Os grupos tratados com Saccharomyces boulardii apresentaram redução significativa dos níveis de ácido úrico, creatinina e lactato em comparação ao grupo controle positivo. Também foi observada melhora nos níveis de ureia e albumina, principalmente nos grupos cuja intervenção foi mais prolongada, bem como no grupo tratado com Praziquantel. Conclusão: A administração de Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 reduziu alterações bioquímicas associadas à disfunção renal induzida por Schistosoma mansoni Cepa BH, indicando um potencial efeito nefroprotetor como adjuvante no tratamento da esquistossomose.
