Abstract

The main aim of the registered purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is to provide minimize the adverse chemical drugs, in addition to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. Potentially adverse effects may be observed in laboratory animals in particular, the extent to which this administration can cause toxicity. This study aimed to examine the histopathology of nephrotoxicity associated with administered water extracts of purple sweet potato in mice with stratified doses. The study was conducted at the Biomedical Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Bandung on September 2019. Female mice (Mus musculus) strain Swiss Webster, aged between 6–8 weeks weighing 25 to 30 g, were obtained from Biopharma Laboratory, Bandung. The animal was acclimatized for seven days before being administered water extract purple sweet potato: eleven mice, one control group, and ten treatment groups underwent toxicity doses of purple sweet potato water extract administration. Purple sweet potato variant of Ayamurasaki prepared in various oral doses. The results show in the control group there were no histopathological changes, but in the group administered water extract purple sweet potato from the first phase seems in a mild grade of macrophage accumulation, mild vacuolization of tubular epithelial cells, mild vascular dilatation, and mild hydrophilic degeneration. In the second phase, macrophage accumulation was visible in moderate grades. The LD50 of purple sweet potato extract is greater than 5,000 mg/kgBW. The findings of this study indicate that registration of purple sweet potato extract in confirmatory doses is safe to administer and did not exhibit any mortality. The toxicity test of purple sweet potato water extracts in the kidney exhibits minimal chemical effects.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that can damage various organs, including the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and nerves. Diagnosing DM typically involves assessing blood glucose levels and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which reflects average glucose levels over the past 2 to 3 months. HbA1c testing has limitations, including interference from red blood cell lifespan, relatively high costs, and limited availability in some laboratories in Indonesia. Hematology parameters are crucial for diagnosis, including hematocrit, which is associated with blood viscosity, inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia. These conditions are closely associated with the clinical state of Diabetes mellitus. This research aims to analyze the association between hematocrit and HbA1c to identify alternative tests for predicting glycemic status. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 603 patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes who visited the outpatient department at Al Islam Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019, selected through total sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to assess the association between hematocrit and HbA1c, adjusting for confounders. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean hematocrit level is 41.23±6.21, and HbA1c is 7.87±2.49. The results demonstrated a positive association between increased hematocrit and increased HbA1c, although the effect size is small and statistically insignificant after adjusting for age and sex (β=0.03; 95% CI=−0.004, 0.06; p=0.08; adjusted R-squared=0.004), where an increase of 1 unit of hematocrit is associated with a rise of 0.03 units of HbA1c in this study. In conclusion, hematocrit levels cannot yet serve as a substitute for HbA1c for assessing a patient’s glycemic status.
