Abstract

Background: Anemia affects almost a quarter of the world population. Irondeficiency is a cause of anemia. Pregnant women are declared to have anemia when using the 11g / dL limit in the first and third trimesters and 10.5 g / dL in the second trimester while ferritin acts as aniron reserve. Guava is a source of vitamin C, one guava fruit contains four times vitamin C. The role of vitamin C in the process of absorption of iron helps reduce ferriiron to ferro. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of guava extract on ferritin levels in pregnant rats. Methods: This type of research is experimental with a Post-test only design approach. The number of samples consisted of 36 pregnant white rats divided into 4 groups, namely the control group and 3 treatment groups I, II, II, each of which was given an oral volume of 1%, 2%, 3% guava extract. The research was carried out at the Andalas University Pharmacy Laboratory and Biomedical Laboratory. Ferritin levels by using the ELISA method. Statistical tests using the Kruskal Wallis along with the Mann-Whitney test.Result: The results of this study indicated that there was a significant difference in ferritin levels between the control group and the treatment group p = 0.001 (p <0.05). The average ferritin level in the control group was 0.90956μg / mL, while the treatment group I was 1.57800μg / mL, and the treatment group II was 1.78578μg / mL, then the treatment group III was 1.92767μg / mL. Conclusions: There is an influence in giving guava extract to ferritin levels in pregnant rats.
