Objective To investigate the effect of Ganzhixiao Capsule(Capsule for liver fat dissolving) in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods The 22 patients were selected according to the Chinese Medical Association’s diagnostic standard of NAFLD and compared with 20 healthy persons(control group).Both groups were given routine medical checkup and liver CT scanning and then the liver/spleen ratio was taken as the index for effect evaluation.The NAFLD patients were administered Ganzhixiao Capsule for 8 weeks
and the changes of biochemical indexes and CT liver/spleen ratio after treatment were observed for comparison.Results In NAFLD group
the serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and triglyceride(TG) were significantly increased while the CT liver/spleen ratio was significantly decreased in comparing with the control group.After treatment
ALT and TG decreased significantly while liver/spleen ratio increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion Ganzhixiao Capsule treats NAFLD effectively.
