Suplementasi ekstrak albumin ikan gabus terhadap status gizi dan imunitas pasien stroke
Abstract: Malnutrition and
immunology change in stroke would affect the outcome of the stroke patient. The
supplement of the extract of snakehead fish as an alternative is expected could
reduce the effect pasca stroke.
Objective: This study aims to assess the effect of snakehead fish
supplementation on nutritional status, levels of albumin, TLC and TNF-α in
stroke patients.
Method: This type of study is a quasi-experimental, pre-test post-test
group design, by providing treatment to the subject of research and treatment
effects were measured and analyzed. Subjects were divided into two groups; a
first group which receives 3 x 2 capsule of snakehead fish supplementation as
well as diet and nutrition education (intervention group) and the second group
that received only diet and education (control group).
Results: From the results, it was found that nutritional status, which
was obtained by measuring UAC in cases and controls are good (SG ≥ 85%) but no
significant differences between them (p=0.914). There are significant
differences between albumin levels before and after intervention (p=0.023) with
an average increase of 0.2 g/dl, but not in the control group (p=0.931). For
TLC values increased in the intervention group (990,5 sel/mm3) and a decrease
in the control group (645,03 sel/mm3) with a significant difference in both
groups (p=0.034). There was a decrease of TNFα in both group; for cases
(mean=-2.91) and controls (mean=-2.58) with significant differences between the
two groups (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The supplementation of an extract of snakehead fish could
increase the albumin and TLC level and decrease the TNFα in stroke patients.
