Creatinine is residual product from body’s metabolism. Creatinine is generally used to

estimate body’s active tissue. The precursor comes from protein. The eating pattern of
vegetarians affect body’s condition. Lacto-ovo vegetarian is the type of vegetarians who
consume all kind vegetable and abstain eating any kind of meat but still consume milk, egg and
daily product. The purpose of this study is to describe serum creatinine levels in lacto-ovo
vegetarians. It was a descriptive study using cross-sectional design. The research was followed
by 25 respondents. Twenty three of them have normal creatinine serum level, two respondents
have less creatinine serum level. The result of this study showed that average score of
respondents creatinine serum level is 0.8 mg/dL with standard deviation of 0.2 mg/dL. Based on
this study, it could be concluded that the majority of respondents (96%) have normal creatinine
serum level.

Keywords: creatinin serum level, lacto-ovo vegetarian

Kreatinin merupakan produk sisa dari metabolisme tubuh. Kreatinin biasa digunakan
untuk mengestimasi jaringan aktif tubuh. Prekursor kreatinin berasal dari protein dari makanan.
Pola makan pada vegetarian menyebabkan efek terhadap kondisi tubuh. Vegetarian lacto-ovo
adalah tipe vegetarian yang mengonsumsi semua jenis sayur dan berpantang makan segala jenis
daging tetapi masih mengonsumsi susu, telur dan produk dari susu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengetahui kadar kreatinin serum pada vegetarian lacto-ovo. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian
deskpritif dengan desain potong lintang. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 25 responden. Dua
puluh tiga dari 25 responden memiliki kadar kreatinin serum normal, dua responden memiliki
kadar kreatinin serum rendah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata nilai kadar kreatinin serum
responden yaitu 0,8 mg/dL dengan standar deviasi yaitu 0,2 mg/dL. Berdasarkan penelitian ini,
maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar (96%) responden memiliki kadar kreatinin serum
yang normal.

Kata Kunci : kadar kreatinin serum, vegetarian lacto-ovo.
