Background: Cisplatin as an anticancer drug results in nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Accumulation of cisplatin in the body will produce reactive compounds in the form of free radicals which induce oxidative stress that affects kidney and liver functions. Propolis contains flavonoids, phenolic acid, and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) which have the ability to prevent free radical formation and improve kidney and liver function. This study aims to determine the effect of propolis administration to ameliorate of BUN, creatinine, ALT and AST levels in cisplatin-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: The experimental study was conducted with the pre-post-test with control group design approach. The research sample used 30 white rats which were divided into normal (aquadest), Cisplatin (5mg/kg i.p), Latar Belakang: Penggunaan cisplatin sebagai obat antikanker menghasilkan efek nefrotoksisitas dan hepatotoksisitas imbas obat. Akumulasi cisplatin di dalam tubuh akan menghasilkan senyawa reaktif berupa radikal bebas yang menginduksi terjadinya stress oksidatif sehingga akan berpengaruh ke fungsi ginjal dan hepar. Propolis mengandung flavonoid, asam fenolat, dan Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) yang memiliki kemampuan mencegah pembentukan radikal bebas dan memperbaiki fungsi ginjal dan hepar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian propolis terhadap pemulihan kadar ureum, kreatinin, ALT dan AST darah pada tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) yang telah diinduksi cisplatin. Metode: Penelitian eksperimental ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan pre-post-test with control group design. Sampel penelitian menggunakan 30 ekor
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
