Abstract

Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023, tuberculosis (TB) is a long-standing disease. The relationship between hemoglobin levels in tuberculosis, decreased hemoglobin levels in tuberculosis sufferers can be caused by the tuberculosis infection process. Bad habits such as staying up late, smoking, consuming alcohol, and unmet nutritional needs. While the relationship between erythrocyte levels in tuberculosis can affect all hematopoiesis series, especially in erythrocytes, when erythrocytes are infected, a reaction will occur where the life mass of erythrocytes is shortened by around 10-20 days, while in normal conditions the life mass of erythrocytes is 120 days. This research is a type of quantitative research with a descriptive research design using purposive sampling techniques. Based on the results of the study on the description of hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels in inpatients with tuberculosis at Prof. Dr. HM Anwar Makkatutu Regional Hospital, Bantaeng Regency, it was found that out of 250 samples of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, it showed that patients with predominantly normal hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels were 155 (62%) people, while patients with low hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels were 95 (38%) people.

Abstract

Blood sugar testing is essential for diabetes management and should be fast, accurate, and affordable. This study aims to determine the difference in blood sugar levels between immediate and delayed (1-hour) serum examinations using vacuum gel separator tubes at Prof. Dr. H. M. Anwar Makkatutu Bantaeng Hospital. An observational laboratory research with a comparative quantitative design was conducted on 23 purposively selected patients undergoing routine check-ups, without a history of diabetes mellitus. Blood samples were analyzed immediately and after a 1-hour delay at room temperature. Results showed that in immediate examinations, blood sugar levels ranged from 79 to 161 mg/dL, with a mean of 109.26 mg/dL. In delayed examinations, levels ranged from 81 to 164 mg/dL, with a mean of 111.74 mg/dL. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The findings suggest that delaying blood sugar testing by 1 hour can lead to measurable changes in serum glucose levels, emphasizing the importance of timely sample processing in clinical settings.
