Obesity was obtained by high fat and high carbo diet. At the end of the study, the rats will be terminated and urea, creatinine was examined, renal histopathology changes were observed using hematoxylin and eosin strain. There was differences in urea levels between groups K and P1, P2, P3; P1 and P2, P1 and P3, and P2 and P3 (p<0.005). There was differences in creatinine levels between groups K and P1, P2, P3; P1 and P2, and P1 and P3 (p<0.005).
