Gambaran Kadar Kreatinin Serum pada Vegetarian Lacto-Ovo

Abstract

Abstract: Creatinine is a residual product of the metabolism in the body which is generally used to estimate active tissues. Its precursor comes from protein. In vegetarians, their eating pattern affects the body condition. Lacto-ovo vegetarians consume all kinds of vegetable but do not consume any kind of meat; however, they still consume milk, egg, and daily product. This study was aimed to describe serum creatinine levels in lacto-ovo vegetarians. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. There were 25 respondents in this study. The results showed that 23 respondents had normal creatinine serum level, and 2 respondents had low creatinine serum level. The average score of creatinine serum level was 0.8 mg/dL (SD±0.2 mg/dL). Conclusion: The majority of lacto-ovo vegetarians had normal creatinine serum level.

Pola makan pada vegetarian berefek terhadap kondisi tubuh. Vegetarian lacto-ovo adalah tipe vegetarian yang mengonsumsi semua jenis sayur dan berpantang makan segala jenis daging tetapi masih mengonsumsi susu, telur, dan produk dari susu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar kreatinin serum pada vegetarian lacto-ovo. Jenis penelitian ialah deskpritif dengan desain potong lintang. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 25 orang. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa 23 responden memiliki kadar kreatinin serum normal dan 2 responden memiliki kadar kreatinin serum rendah. Rerata nilai kadar kreatinin serum responden yaitu 0,8 mg/dL (SD±0,2 mg/dL). Simpulan: Sebagian besar vegetarian lacto-ovo memiliki kadar kreatinin serum yang normal.
