Abstract

|
|
Objective : To study the Oriental Medicine-based strategies or therapeutics for chronic HBV infection.
Methods : A chronic HBV carrier was treated with only oriental therapies. Then, serum biochemical parameters were serially chased, and change of HBV-DNA level was evaluated.
Result : The biochemical indicators (AST, ALT, gamma-GTP, bilirubin) fluctuated during the treatment period. After one episode of drastic elevation of serum aminotransferase, HBV-DNA disappeared from the blood along with normalization of biochemical parameters within two years of beginning treatment.
Conclusion : Oriental Medicine-based therapeutics could be an alternative strategy against chronic infection of HBV.
