Effect of Fuzheng Xiaozheng Decoction on serum prealbumin of patients with hepatocarcinoma after interventional therapy / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the effects of Fuzheng Xiaozheng Decoction (FXD) on serum prealbumin (PA) of patients with hepatocarcinoma after interventional therapy. Methods: A total of 107 cases of patients with advanced hepatocarcinoma were divided into experimental (59 cases) and control (48 cases) groups. The patients in the experimental group were treated by arterial perfusion + lipiodol embolism + FXD (po), and before transcatheter arterial chemoemblization (TACE) FXD was given for 20 d. The patients in the control group were treated by TACE without FXD, and both groups were treated with TACE for four times. The levels of serum PA of the patients in each group were determined before the TACE and 3, 10, and 25 d after the TACE treatment, respectively. Results: Compared with the control group, the serum PA levels of the patients in the experimental group 3 and 10 d after TACE treatment were increased obviously (P < 0.05). Conclusion: FXD could effectively increase the level of serum PA after TACE treatment and promote the recovery of liver function.
