The Effect of Qingre Huashi Formula (清热化湿方) on Chronic Hepatitis B or Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Damp-heat Syndrome: a Multicenter Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Trial
(清热化湿方) on patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) of the same syndrome (damp-heat syndrome).
Methods
2
In a multi-center double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT), patients with CHB or NAFLD of damp-heat syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 36 CHB and 36 NAFLD patients in each group. The treatment group was given
Qingre Huashi Formula
, and the control group was given placebo, one dose daily by two times, for 4 weeks. The changes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, liver function indicators including total bilirubin (TBiL), direct bilirubin (DBiL), indirect bilirubin (IBiL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), blood lipid indicators including total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG), uric acid (UA), fasting blood glucose (FPG), and body mass index (BMI) were assessed, and the effect on TCM symptoms and the safety were evaluated and compared between groups.
Results
2
A total of 127 patients were included in the final statistical analysis, with 34 NAFLD and 30 CHB in the treatment group and 33 NAFLD and 30 CHB in the control group. The effective rate of TCM syndrome score in the treatment group was 84.4%, significantly higher than 39.7% in the control group; and similar trend was found in CHB (83.3% versus 40.0%) and NAFLD subgroup (85.3% versus 39.4%) with significant differences (
P
<0.05). The treatment group significantly improved the scores of short and dark urine, bitter taste, fatigue and tongue coating, and the total symptom score (
P
<0.05), and significantly reduced the level of TBiL, IBiL, ALT, ALP, and BMI (
P
<0.05). In the subgroup of CHB patients, the treatment group was significantly better than the control group in improving the symptoms of short dark urine, bitter taste, fatigue, tongue coating, and the total symptom score, and reducing BMI (
P
<0.05). In the subgroup of NAFLD patients, the treatment group was significantly better than the control group in improving symptoms of short dark urine, bitter taste, incomplete defecation, tongue coating and the total symptom score, and reducing ALP and BMI (
P
<0.05). There was no significant difference in blood routine test and renal function indicators after treatment in both group (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
2
Qingre Huashi Formula
can effectively improve the TCM symptoms and liver function, and reduce BMI in both CHB and NAFLD patients of damp-heat syndrome, providing basis for the theory that “many different diseases can be treated in the same way”.
