[Clinical evaluation of therapeutic effects of "Cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" method on hepatitis hyperbilirubinemia].
BACKGROUND
To explore the effect of treating hepatitis hyperbilirubinemia with Chinese traditional "cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" method.


METHODS
Seventy-two patients were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=36) was treated with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) 80-120 mg daily on the basis of routine western medicine treatment. The therapy group (n=36) was treated with "cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" decoction on the basis of routine western medicine treatment. After using the medicine for 28 days, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB) in plasma were measured to compare the effects of the two methods.


RESULTS
The effective rate of the therapy group was 80.55%, that of the control group was 50%. There was significant difference in efficacy between the two groups (P<0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
"Cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" method may be effective and safe in the treatment of hepatitis hyperbilirubinemia.
