RESUMO

RESUMO
【Objective】To observe the jaundice-relieving effect of therapy of clearing heat and draining dampness combined with cooling blood and normalizing gallbladder function for severe icterohepatitis with damp-heat in liver and gallbladder.【Methods】Seventy-one severe icterohepatitis patients with damp-heat in liver and gallbladder were randomized into groups A(n=38) and B(n=33).The two groups received routine basic treatment and symptomatic treatment,group A was treated with heat-clearing,dampness-draining,blood-cooling and bile-draining herbs,and group B with intravenous drip of small-dose 654-2 additionally.Serum levels of total bilirubin(TBil),direct bilirubin(DBil),glutamic pyruvic transaminase(ALT),prothrombin activation(PTA) and jaundice duration were observed for the evaluation of jaundice-relieving effect.Meanwhile,the changes of gallbladder ultrasonograms were observed.【Results】After treatment,serum levels of TBil and ALT were decreased in both groups(P0.05)but the markedly effective rate in group A was higher than that in group B(P
