Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar la actividad renal de ratones infectados con Schistosoma mansoni cepa BH y tratados con Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745, mediante la cuantificación de marcadores bioquímicos, con el objetivo de investigar posibles efectos protectores del probiótico sobre la función renal durante la Esquistosomiasis. Métodos: Ratones hembra Swiss Webster (n=70) fueron infectados con Schistosoma mansoni cepa BH, y se formaron siete grupos experimentales, incluidos controles negativos y positivos, grupos tratados con Saccharomyces boulardii durante diferentes períodos y un grupo tratado con Praziquantel. Tras las intervenciones, se midieron los niveles séricos de ácido úrico, lactato, urea, creatinina y albúmina como indicadores de la función renal. Resultados: Los grupos tratados con Saccharomyces boulardii mostraron una reducción significativa en los niveles de ácido úrico, creatinina y lactato en comparación con el grupo control positivo. También se observó una mejora en los niveles de urea y albúmina, especialmente en los grupos con intervenciones más prolongadas, así como en el grupo tratado con praziquantel. Conclusión: La administración de Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 redujo las alteraciones bioquímicas asociadas a la disfunción renal inducida por Schistosoma mansoni cepa BH, lo que indica un posible efecto nefroprotector como adyuvante en el tratamiento de la esquistosomiasis.
