Hepatitis akibat obat anti tuberkulosis (OAT) merupakan ancaman yang serius terhadap pengendalian penyakit tuberkulosis. Namun belum ada data yang representatif mengenai hal tersebut dalam suatu populasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami gambaran klinis dan mengevaluasi efek dari terapi obat anti tuberkulosis di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang pada tahun 2013. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif potong-lintang (cross sectional) yang melibatkan sebanyak 460 pasien tuberkulosis (TB) yang menerima directly observed treatment strategy (DOTS). Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh 25 pasien yang mengalami hepatitis akibat OAT dengan nilai insiden sebesar 5,4%. Gejala-gejala yang paling sering timbul adalah rasa mual dan muntah (48%). Terjadi hepatitis ringan (20%), sedang (48%), berat (4%), dan sengat berat (4%). Sebanyak 60% tanpa penyakit penyerta. Efek Hepatitis yang menyebabkan pemberhentian OAT sementara sebesar 56% kasus dan yang tetap meneruskan OAT sebesar 44% kasus, rata-rata durasi terapi hepatitis akibat Obat Anti Tuberkulosis adalah 18 hari. Hepatitis akibat OAT dapat mempengaruhi angka keberhasilan (outcome) terapi. Adanya insiden hepatitis akibat OAT dan besarnya populasi Hepatitis tersebut di Rumah Sakit Saiful Anwar menunjukkan bahwa mendeteksi efek negatif dari terapi OAT sangatlah penting.
Background: Hepatitis is one of the health problems in Indonesia that require special treatment, in line with the increase of morbidity and mortality rate of this disease. Complications of hepatitis include liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Indonesia, as a tropical country, has many medicinal plants that act as hepatoprotector, a substance that can protect liver from toxic agent. Use of medicinal plants is still considered as controversial treatment because there is still lack of studies. Medicinal plants with mix composition of phytopharmacy, such as: Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Arcangelesia flava, Nigella sativa, and Kleinhovia hospita show potency as hepatoprotector. The objective of this study is to analyse the function of phytopharmacy as hepatoprotector in chronic hepatitis.Method: This study is a clinical trial performed in the Gastroenterology Department and Outpatient Clinic in Saiful Anwar Hospital in May-June 2013. Chronic hepatitis B or C patients who have received antiviral therapy with 3 fold increase of the threshold value of transaminase level, were included in this study. In this study, patients consumed phytopharmacy tablet 3 times per day. After 7 days of treatment, patients’ serum transaminase levels (ALT and AST) were re-assessed. Statistical analysis of before and after treatment data was performed using Wilcoxon test and the result was significant with p 0.05.Results: From 10 patients, the average age was 50.3 years old. Sixty percent (60%) of them were male, with 50% suffered from chronic hepatitis B and the other 50% suffered from chronic hepatitis C. From this study, decrement of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) after seven days of treatment were 45.06%, with p = 0.007 and 48.63%, with p = 0.007, respectivelyConclusion: Phytopharmacy supplementation in chronic hepatitis can decrease serum transaminase, however further study is needed. Keywords: chronic hepatitis, phytopharmacy, ALT, AST, hepatoprotector
