Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of tramadol on renal tissue in rats with induced renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R injury), and its effects on oxidative stress.

Material and methods: Thirty adult, male Wistar rats weighing 250–300 g were selected as subjects. Rats were randomized into 3 groups: group 1, sham; group 2, renal I/R injury; and group 3, renal I/R+Tramadol. In order to obtain ischemia in groups 2 and 3, renal artery was clamped for 1 h. Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were analyzed using biochemical assays in the serum samples.

Results: TOS values were measured as 1.68±0.4 in group 1, 3.35±1.0 in group 2, and 3.49±0.9 in group 3. When group 1 was compared with group 2 and group 3, the TOS values of group 1 were significantly lower (p<0.05), whereas there was no difference between group 2 and group 3 (p>0.05). TAC values were measured as 1.65±1.4 in group 1, 1.85±0.1 in group 2, and 2.79±0.6 in group 3. The antioxidant status of group 1 was not significantly different from that of group 2 (p>0.05), whereas there was a significant difference between group 1 and group 3 (p>0.05).

Conclusions: Tramadol has positive effects on antioxidant levels in renal I/R injury. We think that tramadol may be used in patients who underwent renal surgery and have I/R injury risk. There is a need for studies on this subject including human series.
