Cyanotoxins, various toxins produced by cyanobacteria, have different biological properties and organ specificity. They are classified as hepatotoxins, neurotoxins, cytotoxins and toxins referred as dermatotoxins. Microcystins (MCs) and nodularin are hepatotoxins, but some authors proved their nephrotoxic and immunotoxic influence. The purpose of that work was to present the results of our studies and the state of the current knowledge about potential nephrotoxic and immunotoxic influence of cyanotoxins on vertebrate animals.
