All rights reserved.Objective: The objective of this study is to test diuretic effect of ethanol extract of P. acidus leaves in female Wistar rats using modification of Lipschitz method. Methods: The doses of the extract were 22.5, 45 and 90 mg/kg bw. Parameter of diuretic effect was cumulative urine volume during 6 and 24 hours after administration of the extract. Sodium and potassium level in urine were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results were analyzed with Student-t test. Results: The ethanol extracts of P. acidus at doses of 22.5, 45, and 90 mg/kg bw could accelerate the urinary in rats since 60 minutes after oral administration compared to the control and furosemide 3.6 mg/kg bw (P<0.05). The level of sodium on 24 hour urine of the ethanol extracts of P. acidus at doses 22.5 and 45 mg/kg bw significantly higher than control group (P<0.05), but significantly lower than furosemide 3.6 mg/kg bw (P<0.05). The level of potassium on 24 hour urine of the ethanol extracts of P. acidus at doses 45 and 90 mg/kg bw significantly higher than control group (P<0.05), but significantly lower than furosemide 3.6 mg/kg bw (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the ethanol extract of P. acidus at doses of 22.5 mg/kg bw, 45 mg/kg bw and 90 mg/kg bw had significantly diuretic and saluretic effect compared to control group (P<0.05), but significantly less than furosemid 3.6 mg/kg bw (P<0.05).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Author keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Indexed keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]Ceremai,Diuretic,Phyllanthus acidus,Potassium,Saluretic,Sodium[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Funding details" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="DOI" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/4"][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
