ABSTRACT

Objective To study the efficacy of treating fatty liver with reduced glutathione and Danshen root,and computed tomography was applied for quantitative measurement of efficacy.Methods 38 patients with fatty liver disease were treated with reduced glutathione and Danshen root for 4 weeks,before and after treatment liver function,serum lipid and imaging change were observed.Results Serum ALT reduced from (205.4±9.7) U/L to (87.4±5.3) U/L,TC reduced from (7.8±1.3) mmol/L to (4.2±1.0) mmol/L,TG reduced from (2.7±0.3) mmol/L to (1.6±0.3) mmol/L,after treatment,attenuation of liver have raised from (26±8) Hu to (37±11) Hu after treatment,all values before and after treatment have significant difference (P＜0.01).Conclusion Reduced Glutathione and Danshen Root have favorable results in treating fatty liver disease and worthy of clinical application,attenuation of liver can be applied for quantitative measurement of efficacy and worthy of further study.
