Abstract

Total bilirubin examination serves to determine liver and bile duct function. Pathological hyperbilirubinemia can cause central nervous system disorders to death. Due to the importance of bilirubin results for supporting diagnosis, examinations must follow procedures. However, in the field, there are often issues like lack of control, damaged equipment, and others, resulting in delayed specimens. This study aims to determine the difference in total bilirubin levels with light exposure examined immediately and delayed for 3 hours. This experimental research used 36 sample units from 18 samples with 2 treatment groups: serum exposed to light examined immediately and serum exposed to light delayed for 3 hours. Sampling technique: accidental sampling. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an average total bilirubin level of 3.1444 mg/dL for immediate examination and 3.1044 mg/dL for delayed examination. The data analysis result p-value 0.000, indicates a significant difference in total bilirubin levels between immediate and delayed examination. This difference occurs due to external and internal factors. External factors include light exposure, storage time, and inappropriate storage temperature. The blue light in lamps can affect the results, leading to a decrease in total bilirubin levels.

Abstract

Coffee contains bioactive compounds such as caffeine, cafestol, and kahweol that can influene lipid metabolism. Consumption of unfiltered coffee (boiled coffee) has the potential to increase cholesterol levels. This study aimed to determine the difference in total cholesterol levels between coffee consumers in Banjar Juwr, Abiansemal. The research employed a quantitative comparative method with an observational design. A total of 70 male respondents age 20-50 years (35 coffee consumers and 35 non-consumers) were selected using purposive sampling. Total cholesterol levels were measured using the test strip method (Easy Touch GCU). Data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test. The mean total cholesterol levels of coffee consumers was 170.49 mg/dL, while that of non-consumers was 178.80 mg/dL. Statistical analysis showed p=0.103 (p>0.05), indicating no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion Black coffee consumption in Banjar Juwet was not proven to significantly affect total cholesterol levels. Other factors such as dietary patterns, phhysical activity, and health history are presumed to play a greater role.
