Pengaruh Waktu pada Penyimpanan Serum untuk Pemeriksaan Kolesterol Total

Pemeriksaan kolesterol total dianalisis karena merupakan parameter penting untuk memantau kelainan metabolisme lipid yang ditandai dengan peningkatan maupun penurunan fraksi lipid dan pemeriksaan kolesterol total juga sering dilakukan di laboratorium klinik namun tidak pernah dianalisis sebagai bahan penelitian. Pemeriksaan kolesterol dapat dilakukan dengan sampel berupa serum.Serum dapat disimpan untuk penundaan pemeriksaan yang terjadi karena jarak laboratorium dengan tempat pengambilan sampel terlalu jauh sehingga serum harus disimpan dalam lemari pendingin dan juga untuk mengantisipasi adanya komplain hasil pemeriksaan dari pasien dan biasanya di pakai untuk menggulang pemeriksaan yang sama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar kolesterol total pada serum yang langsung diperiksa dan disimpan dalam lemari pendingin pada suhu 2-8oCselama 1 minggu.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode exsperimen, yang dilaksanakan di ruang laboratorium Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya. Kadar kolesterol total diukur dengan metode (CHOD-PAP) secara enzimatis pada serum yang langsung diperiksa dan disimpan dalam lemari pendingin pada suhu 2-8oC selama 1 minggu.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan nilai rata-rata kadar kolesterol total pada serum yang langsung diperiksa sebesar 147 mg/dl sedangkan yang disimpan dalam lemari pendingin suhu 2-8oC selama 1 minggu sebesar 139 mg/dl. Hal ini menunjukkan tidak terjadi penurunan yang signifikan terhadap kadar kolesteroltotal setelah dilakukan penyimpanan

Efek Konsumsi Minuman Beralkohol terhadap Kadar Kreatinin

Perbedaan Hasil Pemeriksaan Hemoglobin dengan Point of Care Testing (POCT) pada Sampel Darah Vena dan Kapiler

On examination of hemoglobin with POCT generally use capillary blood. The use of capillary blood as a test sample has a deficiency, namely the possibility of dilution in capillary blood samples caused by a deep puncture so that the blood that comes out is not smooth and usually the fingers will be pressed or sequenced. This condition can cause blood dilution by tissue fluid, so the test results will tend to be low. The purpose of this study was to find out the difference in hemoglobin results with POCT in venous and capillary blood samples. This study uses descriptive analytical methods that aim to describe or describe a situation objectively, and then describe it. The results showed the average hemoglobin level in the venous blood sample was 13.2 g/dl. While in capillary blood samples 12.9 g / dl. The results of the independent t-test obtained a significance value of 0.224 (p > 0.05) so it can be concluded that there is no significant difference between the results of hemoglobin levels examination using venous blood samples and capillary blood samples

Triglyceride Levels on Electronic Cigarette Vapers in Palangka Raya

The electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is one of the Nicotine Replacement Therapy uses electricity from battery power to deliver nicotine as aerosols. Nicotine can stimulate secretion of catecholamine lead to increase secretion of hepatic triglycerides to the blood vessels. This study aimed to asses the triglyceride levels of electronic cigarette smokers (also known as vapers) on a vaporizer community in Pahandut, Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. The cross-sectional design was carried out to asses triglyceride levels on 29 electronic cigarette users. Triglyceride assay was determined by an automated photometric technique using Photometers (5010 V5+ Robert Riele). This study found that mostly e-cigarette user considered normal triglyceride level as 75.9% with average triglyceride level 100.6 mg/dL, 13.8% considered borderline-high triglyceride level with average triglyceride level 180.8 mg/dL, and only 10.3% considered high triglyceride level with average triglyceride level 293.0 mg/dL

Cholinesterase Activity on Palm Oil Plantation Workers in Parenggean, Kotawaringin Timur
