Résumé
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between syndrome differentiation types and the objective indexes of fatty liver.MethodsA cross-sectional study was adopted. Clinical observation table of fatty liver for TCM diagnostic performance was used to collect the data of patients and cluster analysis was adopted for syndrome differentiation. The difference of the objective indexes among different syndromes was studied.ResultsFatty liver showed more severity in spleen Qi deficiency and dampness group compared with heart and liver yin deficiency group(χ2=8.218,P=0.041). Patients in the spleen and stomach Qi deficiency group had less smoking history(χ2=8.416,P=0.038). Patients in the spleen Qi deficiency and dampness group had higher AST, TP, ALP and WHR indexes and lower Alb.ConclusionsDifferences of objective indexes in different fatty liver syndromes can be used for enriching syndrome differentiation contents, and provide the basis for microcosmic syndrome differentiation of fatty liver.
