KORELASI KADAR C-REAKTIF PROTEIN KUANTITATIF DENGAN GLUKOSA DARAH SEWAKTU PADA PASIEN ANAK USIA DI BAWAH 16 TAHUN DI RSUD KOJA JAKARTA

Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. One of the parameters for examining inflammatory markers is C-Reactive Protein (CRP). CRP levels increase after trauma, bacterial infections, and inflammation. Blood glucose or blood sugar levels is a term that refers to the level of glucose in the blood. A random blood glucose test is a blood sugar level test that is carried out immediately without having to fast or see the last meal consumed. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between quantitative C-reactive protein levels and random blood glucose in pediatric patients under 16 years of age. This type of research is descriptive analytic. The form of research used is a cross-sectional study with a simple random sampling technique. The location of the study was conducted at Koja Regional Hospital, Jakarta with 65 respondents. Of the 65 respondents, normal CRP results were obtained in 36 respondents and abnormal CRP results in 29 respondents. Twenty-eight respondents had normal GDS results, while 37 respondents had abnormal GDS results. The data obtained were then analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Spearman tests. The correlation between CRP levels and GDS was significant (P > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between CRP levels and GDS levels in pediatric patients under 16 years of age.
