[Controlled study of the therapeutic effect of B vitamins and an anabolic steroid in  chronic hepatitis (author's transl)].
In 66 patients with chronic active hepatitis and chronic fatty liver hepatitis of predominantly alcoholic aetiology the effect of B vitamins and the anabolic steroid clostebol (Steranabol) was tested during an eight-week period, using 12-biochemical parameters of liver function, histological findings and the activity of 14 enzymes. In chronic active hepatitis there was no demonstrable difference in effect between the treated and untreated subjects. In those with chronic fatty liver hepatitis, the marked greater therapeutic effect among the untreated group during hospitalization is thought to have been due largely to an accompanying reduction of alcohol intake.
