Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of entecavir (ETV) combined with Liuweiwuling tablets on hepatic cirrhosis. Methods Total of 122 hepatic cirrhosis patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group: the control group (60 cases) were treated with ETV (0.5 mg/d) for 24 weeks; while the treatment group (62 cases) were treated with Liuweiwuling tablets (1.5 g once, three times a day) and ETV (0.5 mg/d) for 24 weeks. The liver function, HBV DNA and liver fibrosis markers (HA, LN, PC-Ⅲ, CIV) between the two groups were compared after treatment. Results The liver function, HBV DNA and liver fibrosis markers (HA, LN, PC-Ⅲ, CIV) in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions ETV combined with Liuweiwuling tablet therapy is an effective treatment and more effective than that with ETV only for patients with hepatic cirrhosis.
