Abstract

Degenerative disease is one of the classes of diseases whose incidence is related to the degeneration process in old age whose development is directly related to time and age. This usually affects the joints, namely gout. Uric acid is the final metabolic product of purine, which is a component of nucleic acid found in the nucleus of body cells. Increased uric acid levels in the blood are not only caused by food consumed but there are several other factors, namely age, gender, body mass index, and genetics. In addition, in the elderly there is a decrease in the function of vital organs such as the liver and kidneys which can cause an increase in uric acid levels in the blood. The purpose of this study is health screening through uric acid examination. The method used was descriptive by involving 27 respondents who were willing to become subjects. The results showed that there were 10 respondents with increased uric acid examination results while 17 subjects showed normal uric acid examination results.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can be treated by taking Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT). Tuberculosis treatment is divided into two phases, namely the initial phase and the advanced phase. Side effects of OAT use can cause hematological abnormalities in the blood such as anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of erythrocytes in tuberculosis patients undergoing initial and advanced phase treatment as monitoring of anemia risk. This type of research was a comparative study. The research subjects were 30 subjects undergoing initial phase treatment and 30 subjects in advanced phase treatment obtained using the total sampling method. The results of this study obtained a normal erythrocyte index in the early phase of 21 (70%) subjects, normocytic hypochromic 6 (20%) subjects, and microcytic hypochromic 3 (10%) subjects. In comparison, the normal erythrocyte index in the advanced phase was 26 (87%) subjects and microcytic hypochromic 4 (13%) subjects. From the results of the statistical test study using the Mann-Whitney test, the Asymp. Sig. (2 tailed) value was obtained 0.000 (<0.05), which indicates that there is a comparison between the results of the erythrocyte index examination in TB patients undergoing early and advanced phase treatment so that in this study, the hypothesis H is accepted and Ho is rejected. This study concludes that more people experience anemia in the early phase of treatment than in the advanced phase of treatment.
