Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the therapeutic effect of Yinchenghao decoction (YCHD) and S-adenosy-L-methionine (SAM) in treating intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and improving prognosis of perinatal newborn babies.
METHODSSixty in-patients of ICP were randomly divided into two groups, the group A treated with YCHD and the group B treated with SAM. The symptom of itching and serum biochemical indexes, including glycocholic acid, bilirubin and transaminase, were observed after 3 weeks treatment, and the prognosis of perinatal newborn babies between the two groups was compared after delivery.
RESULTSAfter treatment, the symptom of itching, serum levels of glycocholic acid, bilirubin and transaminase improved significantly (P < 0.05) in both groups, and the prognosis of newborn in the two groups was similar (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONBoth YCHD and SAM could effectively treat ICP. The former is rather cheaper, so it is more feasible for spreading.
