Bitter Bean Extract (Parkia speciosa) has a flavonoid compound which is an antioxidant. Objective :This study was aimed to investigate the effect of bitter bean extract (Parkia speciosa) on the histopathology liver on Wistar Male White Rat (Rattus norvegicus) with induced paracetamol.

The liver were taken by surgery on the 15th day and microscopically examined. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23 with KruskalWallis method. Result: Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant result, Mann Whitney test showed that there was a positive influence on treatment 1 and positive control on treatment 2, this can be seen from significance value of p <α (0,05). But there is also a comparison that shows no effect that is on treatment 1 to treatment 2, it is obtained from significance value p> α (0,05). Conclusion: Bitter Bean Extract has affect in reducing liver cell damage which is marked by the necrosis of the hepatic cells in the animals which was given the paracetamol.]]>
