The green tea leaves were sourced from tea distributor in Sidamanik District, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Green tea leaves extract was obtained by maceration technique in which green tea leaves were soaked with ethanol 96% for 24 hours. After that, the filtrate was concentrated to be thick extract with no liquid content again. After that, the concentrated extract was made by 5%, 10% and 15% as extract variations. The efficacy of green tea ethanol extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was signed by increasing the inhibitory diameter that using disc method, in which the distilled water was used as negative blank. The results obtained for blanks, 5%, 10% and 15% extracts were 0; 1.85; 2.9 and 4.45 mm. The conclusion of this study is that the concentration of the extract is increasing proportionally to its inhibitory power, the higher of extract concentration is higher of its inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The conclusion described the green tea ethanol extract was effective to be antibacterial agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.","PeriodicalId":186452,"journal":{"name":"BIOLINK (Jurnal Biologi Lingkungan Industri Kesehatan)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115974767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the nanoparticle therapies that could be given to patients with chronic kidney disease is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. The purpose of this paper is to determine: 1) structure and how they work of the kidney and its relation to the urinary system, 2) causes and effects of chronic kidney disease on the urinary system, 3) mechanism of the urinary system in conditions of chronic kidney disease, and 4) mechanism and results of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. The research method used is a literature review from various sources which helps in reviewing the four focus of the study. Kidney is divided into three major parts, namely cortex, medulla, and renal pelvis. The excretory system has three stages, including filtration, reabsorption, and augmentation. Chronic kidney disease can be caused by age, where older age has a risk of developing CKD. Kidney disease can be divided into several stages, including normal, at risk of damage, kidneys are damaged, kidneys are not functioning properly and kidneys are no longer functioning or chronic kidney disease (CKD). The mechanism of action of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is divided based on its function, named as anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulation, and degradation.
