PERBEDAAN ANTIKOAGULAN Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) DENGAN FILTRAT BAWANG PUTIH (Allium sativum L) PADA MORFOLOGI ERITROSIT

Purpose: To determine the difference between EDTA anticoagulant and garlic filtrate on erythrocyte morphology, including size, color, and shape. Method: This study is an experimental study with a quantitative approach. Blood samples were divided into two treatments, EDTA and garlic filtrate. Result: The results of the Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the erythrocyte morphology data were not normally distributed, so it was continued with the Mann-Whitney test. The Mann-Whitney test results showed no significant difference between the use of EDTA and garlic filtrate on the size (p=0.523), color (p=1.000), and shape of erythrocytes (p=0.269).
