It contains alkaloids, triterpenoids, saponins, and flavonoids wich can be toxic agent at variable dose. Purpose: This study aimed determine the effect of ethanol extract of abelmoschus manihot L. on histopatologic image of mice liver tissue. Methods: This is quasi experimental study with post test only control group design. Fourty five mice (mus musculus) as the subject of this research, they divided into 5 groups, group I threated by 50 mg /kgBB extract, group II threated by 200 mg / kgBB extract, group III threated by 800 mg / kgBB extract, group IV threated by 3,200 mg / kgBB extract, and group V as negative control. Treatment was done for 14 days and terminated at next day for histopatology examination use them liver tissue. Result: Histopathological examination of liver cells within normal limits. In the treatment group of 50 mg liver tissue of mice who died during treatment on day 7 and day 10 showed liver tissue necrosis. In the treatment group of 200 mg and 800 mg of liver tissue showed the presence of liver cell necrosis, and cell boundaries appeared unclear. In the treatment group of 3200 mg liver tissue showed necrotic cells, lysi s cells, unclear cell boundaries and necrotic cells more widely.Conclusion: As a conclusion there an histopatologic changes of microscopic examination of mice liver cells in the form of necrosis and, there is not significant difference in ALT and AST between the control group.Keywords : Abelmoschus manihot L. extract, acute toxicity, liver histopathology]]>
