Hubungan Kadar Pb Dalam Darah Dengan Kejadian Hipertensi Pada Pekerja Peleburan Timah Hitam di Perkampungan Industri Kecil (PIK) Kebasen Kabupaten Tegal
Abstract: Exposure to lead
(Pb) continuously for a long time will cause health effects such as
hypertension, decreased the ability of the brain and inhibit the formation of
red blood, disorder if it is not resolved soon be able to cause disruption to
the body's various organ systems such as the nervous system, kidneys,
gastrointestinal, reproductive system and hemoglobin levels. Pb in the form of
fine particulate air measuring < 7µm, so it can beeasily inhaled through the
respiratory tract and enter the blood circulation in the lung. Pb bound to
erythrocyte and distrubuted to solf tissues such as bone marrow, brain, kidney
and testis.
Methods: Cross sectional study on
45 subjects research at small Industry village kebasen talang District Tegal
regency. Pb levels in the blood as biomaker of Pb exposure on levels of blood pressure systolic, blood
pressure dyastolic rate as a parameter for measuring the hypertention .
Results: Subjects with lead concentrations exceeding the threshold 37 people
with mean+ SD lead conceentration in 26.84+18.851;Respondents with higher
levels of blood pressure systolic exceeded the 33 people with mean+SD blood
pressure systolic 146.44+17.892. Respondents with blood pressure dyastolic
level threshold of 10 people with a mean ± SD blood pressure dyastoliclevels of
85.47 ±11.151 .
Conclusion: There is a relationship beetween blood lead concentrations in
the blood pressure systolic level (p value = 0.006) with levels of blood
pressure dyastolic (p = 0.036).
