Mechanisms of star fruit-induced acute renal failure

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2008
We have previously discovered that star fruit can induce oliguric acute renal failure. To investigate the mechanisms of star fruit-associated acute oxalate nephropathy, the nephrotoxic effect of star fruit was examined in both cellular experiments and animal models.

Acute oxalate nephropathy induced by star fruit in rats

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2001
In this study, we intend to establish a connection between star fruit and acute oxalate nephropathy and also investigate predisposing factors for its development. Male Sprague-Dawley rats of 180 to 200 g were assigned to four groups; namely, control, experimental, fasting, and water-deprivation groups.

Enzymatic carotenoid cleavage in star fruit (Averrhoa carambola)

Phytochemistry, 2003
This paper presents the first description of an enzyme fraction exhibiting carotenoid cleavage activity isolated from fruit skin of Averrhoa carambola. Partial purification of the enzyme could be achieved by acetone precipitation, ultrafiltration (300 kDa, 50 kDa), isoelectric focusing (pH 3-10) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel ...

TRANSIENT INHIBITION OF CYP3A IN RATS BY STAR FRUIT JUICE

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2006
Star fruit juice is a potent in vitro inhibitor of CYP3A; however, few reports are available on the inhibition of CYP3A activities by star fruit juice in vivo. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the CYP3A-mediated star fruit-drug interaction in vivo. The effect of star fruit juice on carbamazepine pharmacokinetics was examined in rats.

Acute Oxalate Nephropathy After Ingestion of Star Fruit

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2001
Acute oxalate nephropathy associated with ingestion of star fruit (carambola) has not been reported before. We report the first two cases. These patients developed nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and backache within hours of ingesting large quantities of sour carambola juice; then acute renal failure followed.

[Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) toxic encephalopathy].

Revue neurologique, 2009
Ingestion of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) can induce severe intoxication in subjects with chronic renal failure. Oxalate plays a key role in the neurotoxicity of star fruit. We report the cases of two patients with unknown chronic renal insufficiency who developed severe encephalopathy after ingestion of star fruit.
