Hubungan Nilai Hematokrit dengan Kadar Ureum pada Suspek Gagal Ginjal di Laboratorium Klinik Blitar

Kidney failure is a clinical condition characterized by decreased kidney functionirreversible at any time requiring permanent renal replacement therapy in the form of dialysis or a kidney transplant. Impaired kidney function is characterized by increased levels of urea & creatinine, abnormalities in urine sediment, electrolytes, histology, and kidney structure. Hematocrit is a test that measures the percentage of blood consisting of red blood cells. Hematocrit can be used to guide or monitor blood transfusions and erythropoietin therapy. Urea is the end product of protein and amino acids, an increase in urea levels is an indicator of kidney damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hematocrit and urea levels in Suspected Kidney Failure at the Blitar Clinical Laboratory. The research method used is an analytical survey approachcross sectional by sampling techniqueTotal Sampling. Respondents in a study of 30 suspected kidney failure at the Blitar Clinical Laboratory. Based on the average result of the hematocrit examination of 30 respondents, it was 35.60vol% and the average result of urea examination for 30 respondents was 46.80 mg/dl, while statistically there was no correlation between the value of hematocrit and urea levels in suspected kidney failure at the Blitar Clinical Laboratory.Based on the correlation test results Spearman Rank showed that statistically there was no relationship between the hematocrit value and urea levels value 0,186> 0.05. From this study, there was no relationship between hematocrit values and urea levels in suspected renal failure.
