[Applying Fuzheng Huayu Gantang comprehensive therapeutic program for treatment of post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis complicated with glyco-metabolic abnormality].
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical effects of Fuzheng Huayu Gantang comprehensive therapeutic program (FHGP) on post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis associated with glyco-metabolic abnormality (LCGA).


METHODS
The patients with LCGA enrolled in the randomized controlled clinical trial were assigned to 2 groups, the treated group (68 cases) and the control group (74 cases), they were treated respectively by FHGP and conventional TCM and Western medicine therapeutic program for 3 months. Indexes including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h postprandial plasma glucose (2 h PG), fasting insulin (FINS) were detected, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated, and the score of syndrome was recorded before and after treatment. Then the effects on syndrome and glyco-metabolic abnormality were evaluated through statistical analysis.


RESULTS
Level of 2 h PG after treatment was lowered in both groups (P < 0.01), but significant difference was found in the pre-treatment to post-treatment decrement of FPG and HOMA-IR between the two groups (P < 0.05). The syndrome improving rate and the total effective rate on glyco-metabolic abnormality in the treated group were significantly better than those in the control group respectively (85.3% vs 64.9% , P < 0.01; 80.9% vs 62.2%, P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
FHGP has the capability to improve the syndrome and glyco-metabolic abnormality of patients with LCGA.
