Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial bacterium that can infect animals and humans. This study used Macaca fascicularis because of its potential as a medium for spreading zoonoses. This research aimed to study the health of kidneys and liver of Macaca fascicularis infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The method used in this study was blood chemistry examination of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin/globulin ratio, total bilirubin, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) compared to the normal value of blood chemistry of M. fascicularis. K. Pneumoniae infection causes an increase in blood chemistry values, namely BUN and albumin/globulin ratio, and decreases in creatinine, globulin, and total protein values. This shows that these monkeys have kidney problems caused by K. Pneumoniae infection. Blood chemistry values that were within the normal range were albumin, total bilirubin, ALT, and ALP, which indicated that M. fascicularis had no liver function disorder.
