Abstract :

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) may result acute liver failure. Although these cases are rare but is more common in children, and early identification of these infections is important to reduce the morbidity as well as mortality. The aim of this study was to know the determinations and the correlation of liver functions with the grade of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in children. This study was conducted by cross sectional, using data from the medical records of DHF patients who had liver function tests (AST, ALT, PT, aPTT and albumin) in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar from the period of July 2008 to June 2010. AST, ALT and albumin were tested using Cobas Integra 400, PT and aPTT were tested using Humaclot VA, and the data were analyzed with Spearman correlation test.  There were fifty-five samples: 26 (47.3%) were males and 29 (52.7%) were females. We found 15 (27.3%) grade I, 13 (23.6%) grade II, 16(29.1%) grade III and 11 (20%) grade IV patients. In this study are found that AST and ALT increased and there is a tendency of extending aPTT value but there was no significant correlation with the grade of DHF. The mean of albumin was lower in grade IV, there was a significant correlation between albumin and the grade of DHF (r = -0.375, p <0.05). In conclusion, there was a significant correlation between albumin and the grade of DHF. It is suggested that the routine albumin examination in DHF patients should be carried on to know whether a prevention of complications is needed to reduce the possibility of mortality.     Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) dapat menyebabkan gagal hati akut, meskipun kasus ini jarang dilaporkan tetapi lebih banyak terjadi pada anak-anak, sehingga pengenalian dini infeksi ini penting untuk mengurangi angka kesakitan dan angka kematian. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kenasaban fungsi hati terhadap derajat penyakit DBD. Penelitian dilakukan secara potong silang dengan mengambil data rekam medik pasien DBD yang memeriksakan uji fungsi hati (AST,ALT, PT, aPTT dan Albumin) di Laboratorium Patologi Klinik RS. Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar masa waktu Juli 2008 sampai Juni 2010. Pemeriksaan uji AST, ALT dan Albumin menggunakan Cobas Integra 400. Uji PT dan aPTT menggunakan Humaclot VA. Pada penelitian ini digunakan sebanyak 55 sampel, 26 orang (47,3%) laki-laki dan 29 (52,7%) perempuan. DBD derajat I 15 orang, derajat II 13 orang, derajat III 16 orang dan derajat IV 11 orang. Terdapat peningkatan aktifitas AST dan ALT dan pemanjangan aPTT, tetapi tidak bernasab dengan derajat DBD. Rerata Albumin semakin rendah pada derajat IV, dengan uji Spearman terdapat kenasaban yang bermakna antara kadar Albumin dan derajat DBD (r=-0.375, p< 0.05). Didasari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat kenasaban yang bermakna antara Albumin dan derajat penyakit DBD, sehingga perlu diperiksa Albumin secara rutin bagi semua pasien DBD untuk mencegah komplikasi dan mengurangi kematian.
