Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effect of Fuzheng Huayu tablets combined with entecavir in the treatment of hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods From February 2022 to February 2024, 88 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who were admitted to the Zhenjiang Third People's Hospital were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table, with 44 cases in each group. The control group was treated with entecavir, while the observation group was treated with entecavir and Fuzheng Huayu tablets. Both groups received continuous treatment for 6 months. The clinical efficacy, liver function indexes, liver fibrosis indexes, hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA load and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TBIL) in the observation group after treatment were (24.42±2.85) U/L, (33.56±3.57) U/L, and (21.14±2.75) μmol/L, respectively, which were lower than those in the control group [(28.95±2.97) U/L, (40.42±4.13) U/L, and (26.35±2.89) μmol/L], with statistical differences (P<0.05). The levels of laminin (LN), hyaluronic acid (HA), type IV collagen (IV-C), and HBV-DNA in the observation group after treatment were (62.82±6.19) ng/mL, (101.14±9.63) ng/mL, (71.15±6.72) ng/mL, and (1.05±0.22) log copy/mL, respectively, lower than those in the control group [(70.39±6.27) ng/mL, (112.43±9.72) ng/mL, (79.53±7.13) ng/mL, and (1.57±0.26) log copy/mL], with statistical differences (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Fuzheng Huayu tablets combined with entecavir can improve the curative effect of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, reduce the HBV-DNA load, inhibit the progress of liver injury, and is safe and reliable.
