Abstract:
Objective: To make an impersonal evaluation on the effect of TCM on main biochemical indexes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),including ALT,AST,GGT,TC,TG,and HDL-C.Methods: We searched all the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM for NAFLD from CBM, CNKI,and VIP (1999-2008).RevMan4.2 was used in the analysis. Results: 11 RCTs,including 1078 patients,met the inclusion criteria.All of the trials were not adequate in methodological quality. None of them was double-blinded trial.The result of analysis showed that compared with basic Western medicine,TCM could increase the content of HDL-C,reduce the content of ALT,AST,GGT,TC and TG.Conclusion: The present meta-analysis suggested that TCM was beneficial over Western medicine for NAFLD which indexes including ALT,AST,GGT,TC,TG,and HDL-C.But we can not make a final conclusion due to low quality of RCT.
