Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out the presence of bilirubin on sumateran orangutan urine as a medical record and a supporting diagnostic of orangutan in Jantho Reintroduction Centre, Aceh Besar. The urine samples were collected from ten sumateran orangutans from forest, around the cage, and in the cage. Urine was collected in the morning when orangutan woke up and left the nest or before first feed for orangutan which was in the cage. The replication test was done eight times within four weeks. The bilirubin test was directly carried out by dipping the strip test in 5-10 mL urine for 30 second. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive and the result was semiquantitative, through the examination of bilirubin value using 4 scale discoloration of strip test: negative (0 mg/dL), small (1 mg/dL), moderate (2 mg/dL), and large (4 mg/dL). The result showed that bilirubin was not detected on 9 out of 10 sumateran orangutan samples, only one sumateran orangutan positively detected the presence of bilirubin which categorize in small (1 mg/dL) scale. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Key words: bilirubin, sumateran orangutan, strip test, urine

Summary
Vicky Diawan H., dkk Penelitian ini menggunakan sepuluh individu orangutan sumatera (lima individu jantan dan lima individu betina dengan umur 7-8 tahun) dan sampel orangutan terdiri atas O1-O10. Pengambilan urine dilakukan dengan metode penampungan urine pada saat orangutan sedang urinasi menggunakan wadah kantong plastik kering. Urine yang ditampung dipindahkan ke dalam wadah steril sebanyak 5-10 ml per individu. Urine yang telah ditampung segera diuji dengan strip test dengan cara mencelupkan masing masing strip test tersebut ke dalam sampel urine selama 30 detik, hingga blok warnanya terendam semua dalam urine. Strip test kemudian diangkat dari urine, didiamkan sekitar satu menit. Warna yang timbul pada strip test segera dibandingkan dengan warna standar yang ada. Analisis Data Analisis data menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan hasil yang bersifat semikuantitatif melalui pembacaan nilai bilirubin pada strip test dengan 4 skala yaitu negative (0 mg/dl), small (1 mg/dl), moderate (2 mg/dl), dan large (4 mg/dl)
