The usage of mercury in Artisanal and Small Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) is quite troublesome because, within the process, ASGM produces mercury within its waste to the environment that might become pollution. Exposure of mercury to the body in long period could threaten the body’s health such as kidney as excretion organ thatexerts toxic materials from the body. Glomerulus filtration rate (GFR) is one parameter to evaluate the work of the kidney and the stadium of the kidney disease. This research aimed to understand the relation between mercury level in hair and GFR and used cross-sectional design with measured variables including mercury level in hair, respondent characteristic, and GFR. The respondents included 58 people. The output showed that 51.7% of respondents had mercury level above the guideline (> 2 ppm) in their hair and 43.1% of respondents had experienced a decrease in GFR (abnormality in kidney function). The decrease in GFR was caused by age and mercury level in hair. This decrease can be prevented by consuming more water, reducing medicine consumption, and conducting promotion about health service and the impact of mercury on public health. Keywords: glomerulus filtration rate (GFR), mercury level in hair, Artisanal and SmallScale Gold Mining (ASGM)
