ABSTRACT
 
Nigella sativa is utilized to treat many ailments and to maintain and improve global health as it has numerous pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimetastatic, anxiolytic, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory.

Eighteen adult male rats were separated into three groups: Control, HDFA and HDFA+NSE. Both kidney and liver dysfunctions induced by HDFA administration significantly improved by NSE which was supported by histological examination. Thus, NSE being an ample source of antioxidants has a hepatorenal protecting effect.
