ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical effect and complication of the combination treatment of lamivudine and adeforvir dipivoxil in decompeasated hepatitis B cirrhosis. Methods Eighty-six cases of decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis were divided into the observation group and the control group with 43 eases each by random digits table. The control group was treated with routine treatment and lamivudine, and the observation group was added with adefovir dipivoxil on the base of the treatment in the control group. The clinical effect after 12 months' treatment was evaluated. Results After 12 months'treatment, the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), albumin ( ALB ) and Child-Pugh grade had significant improvement than that before the treatment in two groups(P 0.05 ). Conclusion The effect of lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil in the treatment of decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis is superior to the only lamivudine.
