PURPOSE: To evaluate the copaiba oil effect on urea and creatinine levels in rats submitted to kidney ischemia and reperfusion syndrome. METHODS: Eighteen Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus), aged between 90 and 120 days, weight between 200 g and 250 g, were allocated in 2 groups (n=9) and submitted to 50 minutes of renal ischemia and reperfusion and treated or not with copaiba oil (0.63 ml/kg daily seven days before ischemia). The nitrogen excrements were assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours after ischemia period. RESULTS: The urea serum level was smaller (p d" 0,05) at 24 and 48 hours, and the creatinine serum level was smaller at 48 hours in animals treated with copaiba oil (GIRC) than the GIR. CONCLUSION: The copaiba oil decreased significantly the urea serum level at 24 and 48 hours and the creatinine level at 48 hours after kidney ischemia and reperfusion in rats.
