Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains harmful substances. Prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke causes a chronic inflammatory reaction. Exposure to cigarette smoke damages the endothelium due to the presence of free radicals such as nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen peroxide. These free radicals cause oxidative stress. This oxidative stress causes a systemic acute phase reaction resulting in inflammation as well as an increase in fibrinogen, blood cell count, blood viscosity and the formation of rouleaux. The purpose of this study was to describe the value of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in tobacco smokers at the Mardi Lestari General Hospital, Sragen. The type of research used is observational descriptive research. This research was conducted at the Mardi Lestari General Hospital Laboratory, Sragen. This research was conducted on July 6, 2021. The sample in this study were employees of tobacco smokers at the Mardi Lestari General Hospital, Sragen with a total of 17. The sample of this study used a total sampling technique. The variable in this study is the value of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate using the Westergren method with units of mm/hour. Based on this research, it is known that from 17 respondents, 5 respondents have high LED values and 12 respondents have normal LED values. The average value of the LED values in 17 respondents was 14.35 mm/hour with a range of values from 5-39 mm/hour. The conclusion of this study is that some of the smokers who are more than 5 years old, use non-filtered cigarettes and are included in the heavy smoker category, have high LED values.
