Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cheung-Gan-Haeju tang has been used on 3 cases of alcoholic liver disease patients complicated with ascites, clinical symptom(fatigue. jaundice, urine dark, indigestion, anorexia. ascites etc), liver function (AST, ALT, -GT, ALP, total bilirubin), and index of nutritional state (total protein, albumin, cholesterol) were improved after the adminstration. Although the exact mechanism involved in the effects of Cheung-Gan-haeju tang on these disease is still unknown, it is possibly suspected that Cheung-Gan-Haeju tang is non-toxic to liver and has beneficial effects on treating alcoholic liver disease complicated ascites. Further reports with many case, however, will be needed.
