title: [Changes of eye signs in chronic hepatitis B patients with blood stasis syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the characteristics of eye signs in chronic hepatitis B patients with blood stasis syndrome and the association between blood stasis syndrome and eye signs.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 126 patients with chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into four groups: non-blood stasis group, and mild, moderate and severe blood stasis groups. The changes of eye signs in the four groups were tested and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were significant differences in scores of blood stasis and eye signs among the four groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The changes of eye signs in chronic hepatitis B patients with blood stasis syndrome were different with those with non-blood stasis syndrome. There were no significant differences in each item of the eye signs among the four groups (P>0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The eye signs of blood stasis syndrome are applicable, objective and convenient for diagnosing blood stasis syndrome in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
