Myocardial infarction (MI)-associated inflammation is crucial for post-infarct healing. However,
unregulated inflammation may lead to unnecessary systemic inflammation, and affect other
organs. This study investigated the effects of MI on spleen and kidneys over early time-points (2
and 7 days) in isoprenaline-induced MI rat model. MI was evident by elevated levels of
cardiac injury marker, troponin T, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). MI rats showed significant
upregulation of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity at day-2 post infarct while kidney MPO
activity remained unaffected. Kidney function test revealed only slightly increased plasma
urea at day-2 post MI with no changes in plasma creatine at both time-points. Histological
observation on the spleen showed disorganization of spleen structure at day-2 post MI while
the kidney structures were preserved at both time-points. In conclusion, although MIassociated damages in the spleen were seen at day-2 post infarct, it had no impact on the
kidney structures at both time-points.
