Comparison of Hemoglobin Levels, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, Platelets, SGOT, and SGPT in Tertian Malaria and Tropical Malaria

Abstract

Background: Malaria is still one of the threats to health problems in the community that can cause death, especially in people in remote areas. This can be seen by the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 2 of 2015 concerning the National Medium- Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2015 – 2019 where malaria is a priority disease that needs to be addressed. In the RPJMN IV for 2020 – 2024, it is also stated that the prevalence of major infectious diseases, one of which is malaria, is still high accompanied by the threat of emerging diseases. It is targeted that by 2030 Indonesia can achieve malaria elimination.

Objective: The general purpose of this study is to determine the comparison of Hb levels, blood sedimentation rate, platelets, SGOT, and SGPT in the incidence of tertiana malaria and tropicana malaria.

Methods: The type of research used in this study is a quantitative research with a descriptive observational design, using a cross sectional approach with the aim of analyzing the Comparison of Hemoglobin Levels, Blood Sedimentation Rate, Platelets, SGOT, and SGPT in Malaria Tertiana and Malaria Tropicana.

Results: From 40 patients with tertiana malaria and tropicana malaria at dr. M. Thomsen Nias Hospital for the 2022-2023 period, there was a difference in the average hemoglobin levels of 11.77 g/dL in tertiana malaria, and 11.44 g/dL in tropicana malaria, the average difference in LED levels was 20.1 mm/hour in tertiana malaria, and 24.1 mm/hour in tropicana malaria, the average difference in platelet levels was

72.7 cells/mm3 in tertiana malaria, and 79.2 cells/mm3 in tropical malaria, the average difference in SGOT levels was 38 μ/L in tertiana malaria, and 88.5 μ/L in tropicana malaria, and the average difference in SGPT levels was 45 μ/L in tertiana malaria, and

66.4 μ/L in tropicana malaria.

Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the average levels of platelets, LED, SGOT, SGPT in Tertiana Malaria are lower than in Tropicana Malaria. Meanwhile, in Tropicana Malaria, the average Hb level was found to be higher than that of Tertiana Malaria
