Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a plant which used as traditional medicine and one of its benefits is
as diuretic. The research was aimed to find out diuretic effect of Carrot juice and relationship of
the increases of Carrot juice (Daucus carota L.) concentration on white male mice strain Wistar

control group (CMC 1% suspension), positive control group (furosemid suspension), 15%
suspension of carrot juice group, 30% suspension of carrot juice group and 60% suspension of
Carrot juice group.The test of diuretic effect were conducted by calculate volume of excreted
urine during 24 hours treatment. Data were analyzed using spss ver.19. The differences between
