Abstract

Chronic kidney failure is caused by the body's inability to maintain metabolism and fluid balance due to progressive kidney function disorders that will trigger anemia. The cause of anemia in kidney failure is inflammation, which causes inhibition of iron release, resulting in a decrease in iron in the body. Signs of iron deficiency in chronic kidney failure are low levels of Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) and in complete blood count; there is an increase in levels of Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW). This study aims to determine the relationship between Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and the results of Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) in patients with chronic kidney failure with anemia. This study was conducted in January-April 2022, using a cross sectional method on 30 samples of patients with chronic kidney failure with anemia by examining a sample of patients at the Haji Regional General Hospital Surabaya. Most of the research results of the research subjects were male (n =16; 53,3%). The normal RDW is 33,3% (10/30), the high RDW is 66,7% (20/30), the low TIBC is 76,7% (23/30), and the normal TIBC is 23,3% (7/30). As much as 53,3% (16/30) for high RDW values with low TIBC. The result of the Pearson correlation test between RDW and TIBC was r = 0.014 (p = 0.940). Therefore, there is no significant relationship between RDW and TIBC in CKD patients with anemia at the Haji Surabaya Hospital.

Abstract

Bay leaves are a type of kitchen spice that is often added to dishes, inexpensive, and easily obtained. Research results have proven that the active compounds in bay leaves are quite effective and safer in lowering blood pressure. Most of the Sreseh residents work as fishermen who tend to consume salty foods, which causes a high incidence of hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to increase knowledge about healthy lifestyles and the use of herbal medicine made from boiled bay leaves to lower blood pressure among Prolanis hypertension members in the Sreseh Health Center area. The methods used in this community service activity are lecture/presentation and demonstration methods. Lecture activities are carried out by delivering material on the prevention and natural treatment of hypertension using bay leaves, the benefits of bay leaves, and the processing of bay leaves for hypertension treatment. The demonstration method is carried out by showing how to process bay leaves. The target of the activity is Prolanis hypertension patients in Noreh Village, within the working area of the Sreseh Health Center, Sampang, Madura. Members of the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS), especially those with hypertension, were very enthusiastic and motivated to participate in every stage of the community service activity, from blood pressure checks, Prolanis exercises, to education on the benefits of bay leaves. After consuming boiled bay leaves, blood pressure checks on Prolanis members with hypertension showed a 30% decrease in the number of Prolanis members with hypertension, from the previous 76.67% to 46.67%.
