Correlation of Ureum and Creatinine Levels in Tuberculosis Patients at Ciawi Public Health Center, Bogor District

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis patients are required to undergo anti-tuberculosis drug therapy in the long term which can result in accumulation of metabolic waste in the body, decreased excretion which is characterized by an increase in urea and creatinine levels. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between urea and creatinine levels in tuberculosis patients at the Ciawi Health Center, Bogor Regency. The design used is descriptive analysis with a cross sectional approach. Examination of urea and creatinine levels using serum with an Erba Chem 5 V3 spectrophotometer. The data analysis used was the chi square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between urea and creatinine levels in tuberculosis patients at the Ciawi Health Center, Bogor Regency, based on gender with ap value of urea 0.011 and creatinine 0.005 (α<0.05), based on age with ap value of urea 0.004 and creatinine 0.030 (α <0.05) and there was no relationship based on length of treatment with p values 0.626 and 0.860 (α > 0.05).
