This experiment was continuing Adha’s research (2009)with research design as follows: twenty male rats were divided into 4 groups, negative control group (KN),positive control group (KP), treated group I by ethanol extract of avocado leaves 100 mg/kg BW (E100), andtreated group 2 by 300 mg/kg BW (E300). Sampling kidney were fixed in BNF 10% for histopathologicalslide and stained by Hematoxylin-Eosin. The kidney histopathological changes were edema of glomerulus,and protein deposit in the lumen, hyalin droplet and necrotic tubules. The results showed that ethanolextract of avocado leaves can’t significantly to reduce glomerulus edema with percentage cases 31.9% and33.5% for E100 and E300 and tend not to reduce the occurrence of protein deposits in the lumen of thetubule. Ethanol extract of avocado leaves tend to reduce the incidence of tubular necrosis and it wassignificantly different from the KP group (p <0.05). It is caused by flavonoid in etanol extract of avocadoleaves works as diuretikum and antioxidant.]]>
