The level of serum creatinine in male Swiss albino mice (6 to 8 weeks old, 23 – 26 g. weight) infected with single and repeated doses of Ancylostomacaninum larvae has been studied. 6 groups of mice infected with single (group A, 500 dose; group B, 1000 dose; group C, 2000 dose) and repeated doses (group D, 125+125+250 dose; group E, 250+250+500 dose; group F, 500+500+1000 dose) of infective larvae, Statistical analysis indicated a significant increase of serum creatinine in singly infected groups(A, B, C) and repeatedly infected groups (E, F, G) when compared with controls. There was no significant difference in the level of serum creatinine when compared among the experimental groups of singly infected A, B, C and E, F, G repeatedly infected mice.
