Introduction: Sepsis is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. and inflammatory response and oxidative stress play major roles underlying its pathophysiology. Here, we evaluated the effect of intraperitoneal etanercept administration on oxidative stress and inflammation indicators in the kidney and blood of experimental sepsis-induced rats. Methods: Twenty-eight adult Sprague Dawley rats were classified into Control (Group 1), Sepsis (Group 2), Sepsis+Ccfazolin (Group 3), and Sepsis+Cefazolin+Etanercept (Group 4) groups. Kidney tissue and serum samples were obtained for biochemical and histopathological investigations and examined for the C reactive protein (CRP). tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Results: The levels of TNF-alpha, TREM, and MDA in serum and kidney samples were significantly higher in rats from sepsis group than in rats from control group (p < 0.05). Group 3 showed a significant reduction in serum levels of TNF-alpha, CRP. and TREM as compared with Group 2 (p < 0.05). Serum TNF-alpha, CRP, TREM, and MDA levels and kidney TNF-alpha and TREM levels were significantly lower in Group 4 than in Group 2 (p < 0.05). Serum TNF-alpha and TREM levels in Group 4 were significantly lower than those in Group 3, and histopathological scores were significantly lower in Group 3 and Group 4 than in Group 2 (p < 0.05). Histopathological scores of Group 4 were significantly lower than those of Group 3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Etanercept, a TNF-alpha inhibitor. may ameliorate sepsis-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and histopathological damage.
