Abstract

Anemia is a condition of the reduced number of red blood cells or erythrocytes resulting in decreased ability to bind oxygen in the body as indicated by reduced hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV). Ethanol taro leaf extract contains phytochemicals that can potentially increase hematocrit and MCV levels. This study aims to provide scientific information on the effect of taro leaf extract on hematocrit and MCV levels in male Wistar rats induced by NaNO2. This study used a qualitative true experimental test with a pre-post randomized control group trial design using 30 male Wistar rats and divided into 5 negative control groups (K1), positive control (K2), and taro leaf extract treatment with a dose of 100mg/kgBW (P1), 200mg/kgBW (P2), and 400mg/kgBW (P3). Statistical data processing was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to assess the differences between groups before and after taro leaf extract treatment. It did not provide a statistically significant effect but experienced changes in the mean hematocrit levels and MCV count in the post-test group of taro leaf extract treatment with one-way ANOVA test (p > 0.05).
