Abstract:
Objectives:To investigate the effect of growth hormone(GH) and parenteral nutrition (PN) on protein metabolism in patients with cirrhosis of liver. Methods:The test group received GH and PN,and the control group received PN only.All the treatments were maintained for 7 days.The serum levels of Alb,TFN and PA were detected on the day before the treatment and the day 3,5 and 7 after the treatment. Results:As compared with the day before the treatment,the levels of Alb,TFN and PA on the day 3,5 and 7 in the two groups were all increased.However,the changes in the test group were greater than those in the control group.As compared with the control group,the level of Alb on the day 7 and the levels of TFN and PA on the day 5 and 7 in the test group were significantly higher. Conclusions:The therapeutic value of combined use of GH and PN is much better than that of single PN in patients with cirrhosis of liver.
