Conventional methods to detect DIN often lack sensitivity and specificity, particularly for early or region-specific kidney injury. Here, we evaluate Simultaneous Label-free Autofluorescence Multiharmonic (SLAM) microscopy as a rapid, label-free imaging approach to quantify kidney microstructural and functional metabolic changes associated with DIN. SLAM simultaneously captures endogenous NAD(P)H and FAD autofluorescence, collagen-derived second harmonic generation, and third-harmonic generation from structural interfaces. SLAM images were acquired from the cortex and outer medulla (OM) of rat kidneys after cisplatin dosing at days 1, 6, and 29 post-administration. Imaging revealed region-specific injury, with the OM showing greater sensitivity to DIN than the cortex. The most prominent changes\u2014tubular degeneration and hyaline casts\u2014peaked at day 6, whereas tubular dilation and fibrosis-related features persisted to day 29. Feature-based classification captured these spatial and temporal patterns, achieving higher balanced accuracy in the OM (0.944) than in the cortex (0.860). Key model drivers included granularity and inter-channel correlations, underscoring the value of multi-channel SLAM data. Overall, these results demonstrate the potential of SLAM microscopy for sensitive, region-specific detection and characterization of DIN in preclinical safety studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>SLAM microscopy provides a rapid, label-free way to detect, localize, and classify drug-induced nephrotoxicity with improved sensitivity and regional specificity, potentially strengthening preclinical kidney safety screening and reducing late-stage development
