Objective: This study aimed to evaluate nephroprotective activity of Curcuma mangga in paracetamol-induced male mice.Methods: Male mice were divided into several groups including normal control, negative, positive, and treatment groups. Treatment groups were orally administered with C. mangga extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw for 7 days. On day 7after 1 h of treatment, the mice were induced with paracetamol 1.05 g/kg bw. Serum creatinine level measurement and histopathotlogy study were performed at the end of experiment.Results: C. mangga extract was able to inhibit the increase of creatinine level and showed a significantly different from negative control (p 0.05). The result was supported by histopathology examination which did not show any cell damage. The nephroprotective effect of C. mangga was in a dose-dependent manner. C. mangga extract at dose of 400 mg/kg bw depicted the strongest nephroprotective effect.Conclusion: C. mangga extract was able to protect mice kidney induced by paracetamol.
