The dose was 100 mg/0.2kg bw, 200 mg/0.2kg bw, 300 mg/0.2kg bw, with inducer (ethylene glycol + ammonium chloride) as positive control, the treatment carried out during 10 days. Data analysis used Anova. The results showed for parameter damage the glomerulus with (F = 4.931, p = 0.027, < 0.05) which means there was the effect of the ethanol extracts of avocado leaves significantly to decrease edema glomerulus, while parameters proximal tubule damage with (F = 5.755, p = 0.018, < 0.05) which means there was the effect of the ethanol extracts of avocado leaves significantly to decrease cell damage kidney white rat. The dose of ethanol extract of avocado leaves which are most effective against the decrease of edema glomerulus was 100 mg/0.2kg bw and cell damage kidney white rat was 200 mg/0.2kg bw.
