Objective: The study was conducted to observe the histomorphogical effects of radiations from conventional and advanced mobile phone, on the developing kidney of chick embryo. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial Duration of Study conducted at Army Medical College, NUST, Rawalpindi, 3months from May 2012 till July 2012. Material and Methods: Fifty fertilized eggs of Fayoumi breed were selected and divided into five groups. Group I being control. Two groups II and IV were exposed to conventional mobile phone radiations and two groups III and V were exposed to advanced mobile phone radiations, for 15 and 30 minutes respectively. Results: Statistically significant change in the tubular diameters was observed after advanced cellular radiations whereas conventional cellular radiations decreased the epithelial height significantly. Conclusion: The changes induced by electromagnetic radiations from the advanced mobile phones affected the tubular diameters more by decreasing them while conventional decreased the epithelial height of the proximal tubule cells.
