Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan in patients with damp-heat syndrome of hepatitis B virus(HBV) associated with acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF)and the application value of noninvasive assessment by FibroScan. Method: A total of 108 patients with HBV-ACLF were selected and randomly divided into treatment group (54 cases) and control group (54 cases). Both groups adopted the basic medical treatment including bed rest
enteral nutrition
supplementing albumin or fresh plasma
antiviral treatment and so on. On the basis of the basic medical treatment
the treatment group additionally received Ganlu Xiaodu Dan. The major traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome symptoms (yellow skin and eyes
scanty dark urine
abdominal fullness and distention
lack of energy
loose or sticky stool and so on)
liver function biochemical indexes[alanine aminotransferase(ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase(AST)
serum total bilirubin(TBIL)
albumin(ALB)
and prothrombin activityprothrombin time activity(PTA)]
and liver measurement of FibroScan(Kpa)
were observed in both groups before and after treatment. Result: In the aspect of TCM syndrome treatment efficacy
the total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). After treatment
both groups showed significant decrease in ALT
AST
TBIL and measurement of FibroScan
and the effect was more obvious in the treatment as compared with the control group(P<0.05)
but ALB had no significant difference after treatment. Conclusion: Based on the basic medical treatment
Ganlu Xiaodu Dan could not only enhance the curative effect in patients with HBV-ACLF significantly
but also improve the measurement value of the FibroScan markedly. As compared with the routine invasive tests of liver function biochemical index
Fibroscan provides a new method for evaluating the clinical efficacy of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan for treatment of HBV-ACLF
with real-time
dynamic
non-invasive and comprehensive technical characteristics
