Abstract

Background and Objectives: Urine protein examination is a routine examination performed to determine kidney function. The principle of urine protein examination is that the protein in urine is denatured by heating and adding acid. Lemon fruit has a high acid content and lemon has similar properties to acetic acid, namely properties as a weak acid with a pH of 3.0. The direction of this research is to understand the comparison of urine protein using lemon juice and acetic acid solution reagents. Methods: This research uses experimental techniques because urine is treated directly by testing using a 6% acetic acid solution (control) and lemon juice solution. Results: the examination results using lemon juice solution are the same as the examination results using 6% acetic acid solution (control), using the Wilcoxon test, the Asymp.sig (2-tailed) value is 1.000.  With the provisions of the test >0.05, Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, so testing the difference in urine protein levels of hemodialysis patients with acetic acid and lemon juice examination can be carried out. Conclusion: The results of urine protein examination with acetic acid (control) and lemon juice as an alternative reagent. There is no difference in the results of urine protein examination using 6% acetic acid reagent and lemon juice.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that can attack various organs, especially the lungs. Tuberculosis patients are treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs such as rifampicin and streptomycin, which can potentially cause kidney function impairment. To detect any abnormalities in the kidneys, a urine sediment examination is conducted, which can identify an increase in urine cylinders if any damage to the kidneys is present. This study aims to provide insights into urine cylinders in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis based on the duration of their treatment. Method: This is a descriptive study that utilised a purposive sampling technique. The study involved 38 Tuberculosis patients as respondents. Sampling was carried out at the DOTS clinic of RSUD Ciamis and the research was conducted between October 2021 and May 2022. Result: Out of 38 samples, 6 people tested positive for cylinders at a value of +1 (which means very little). These cylinders included hyaline, wax, granule, fat, and epithelial cell cylinders. The percentage of people who tested positive for cylinders was 15.8%. On the other hand, 32 people tested negative for cylinders, which accounts for 84.2% of the total sample. Conclusion: It can be concluded that cylinders were found in tuberculosis patients. Future researchers are advised to examine urine cylinders in pulmonary tuberculosis patients undergoing the sixth month of treatment in patients at a young age.
