Abstract

Abstract. Background: Kidney is an organ that plays an important role
in regulating homeostasis, excrete the foreign or toxic substances, and
metabolism product such as uric acid, urea, and creatinine in the body
through the urine. Syzygium polyanthum, has been used in lowering
uric acid levels. The purpose of this research is to tested the effect of
bay leaf extract on kidney histopathology of hyperuricemia induced
mice model of potassium oxonate. Methods: This study is a laboratory
experimentalstudy with a post-test only control group design, and was
divided into a control group, a hyperuricemia (PO) group, an PO group
with 75 mg/kg bay leaf extract, an PO group with 150 bay leaf extract
and an PO group with 300 mg/kgBW bay leaf extract. The treatment
was given for 14 days then histopathological examination of the
kidneys was carried out with HE staining. Results: Histopathological
inflammation occurred in all groups and necrosis was the most severe
found in the positive control group where the administration of bay
leaf extractsignificantly reduced inflammatory cellsfrom the lowest to
the highest dose with P < 0.001. Conclusion: Administration of
Syzygium polyanthum affected renal histopathology in potassium
oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mice.
