Clinical Study on the Treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Pingganjian Decoction:A Report of 54 Cases
Objective To evaluate the effect of Pingganjian Decoction (Decoction for liver diseases) on the non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD).Methods Totally 105 NAFLD patients were randomized into a treatment group (54 cases) and a control group (51 cases).The former was treated with Pingganjian Decoction while the latter treated with Fufang Yiganling Tablets and Zhibituo Tablets for 3 months.Changes in the symptoms scores
body mass index (BMI)
waist-hip ratio (WHR)
CT ratio of liver-spleen
homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)
liver functions
uric acid and blood-fat before and after treatment were observed.Results After treatment
in the treatment group
the symptom score was significantly decreased
CT ratio of liver-spleen was significantly increased
and the level of HOMA-IR was decreased.Compared with those of the control group
the difference was significant (P<0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of Pingganjian Decoction on NAFLD is definite.Possibly it relates to the improvement of insulin sensitivity of target organs
