Study on relationship between TCM syndromes and laboratory indexes of chronic hepatitis B / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM ) syndromes and the laboratory in-dexes in chronic hepatitis B .Methods According to the TCM syndrome differentiation ,145 cases of chronic hepatitis B were divid-ed into the 5 syndromes :the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao ,the stagnation of liver-QI and deficiency of the spleen ,the spleen-kidney Yang deficiency ,the collaterals obstruction by blood stasis and the liver-kidney Yin deficiency .The correlation be-tween the TCM syndromes and the laboratory indexes was observed .Results The research found that the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao and the stagnation of liver-QI and deficiency of the spleen had the highest proportion in the five kinds of the CM syn-dromes ,which accounted for 53 .8% and 31 .7% ,respectively ;The positive rates of total bile(TBil) and indirect bile(IBil) in the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao were 69 .4% and 68 .8% respectively ,which were significantly higher than those in other 3 groups (P105 copies/mL) ,and the HBV replication was most active . Conclusion There are some relationships between the TCM syndromes and the laboratory indexes in chronic hepatitis B ,therefore the laboratory indexes have more important clinical significance for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of chronic hepatitis B .
