Abstract

Gout is a disease that appears suddenly, repeatedly and is followed by very painful arthritis as a result of the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals Soursop leaf decoction contains flavonoids which function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving boiled water soursop leaves on uric acid levels in gout sufferers in RT.01/RW.02 hamlet kendalsari village plososari mojokerto district. The design of this study was pre experimental. The population in this study were all patients with gout in RT.01/RW.02 hamlet kendalsari village plososari mojokerto district the amount of 20. The sampling technique of this research is total sampling. The sampel in this study is the entire population in RT.01/RW.02 hamlet kendalsari village plososari mojokerto district the amount of 20.The results of statistical tests found there was a decrease in urid acid levels before and after namely for before 20 (100%) respondents had high urid acid levels and after 10 (50%) respondents had high urid acid levels and 10 (50%) other respondents had normal urid acid levels. Statistical test using the wilcoxon signed rank test showed a p-value of (0,002) <a (0,05) so that H0 was rejected which indicates that there is a significant effect of giving soursop leaf boiled water on urid acid levels in gout sufferers. One that causes urid acid levels to remain high is because they are too excessive in consuming foods high in purines.
