Abstract
The toxic effect of the butanolic extract of Herniaria cinerea DC., a plant used traditionally to cure renal stones, has been tested by oral administration on Wistar male rats. The extract causes bloody diarrhea and respiratory troubles. The study of the histopathological lesions in the stomach, intestine, lung, and kidney revealed an ulcerous effect on the digestive tract and alveolar destruction. In the kidney, we observed total tubular necrosis with hemorrhage.
