Objective To show experimentally induced renal stone disease and to evaluate secondary inflammatory responses in vivo, and to characterize changes in the expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) subtypes in this model. Methods Twenty 5- to 6-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into control and hyperoxaluria groups (n = 10 per group) and were supplied with normal water or 1% ethylene glycol, respectively, for 16 weeks. The animals were then placed in metabolic cages, and urine was collected for a 24-hour urine oxalate level evaluation. Following sacrifice, rats were subjected to bilateral nephrectomy and both kidneys were histopathologically evaluated. A 1-mm3 biopsy section from the right kidney of each rat was subjected to real-time polymerase chain reaction of the TLR expression. Results At the end of week 16, the hyperoxaluria group had a higher mean 24-hour urine oxalate level (1.91) than the control group (0.29) (P
