Abstract:
Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a key stage in the progression of chronic hepatitis to liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer, and it is a dynamic and reversible pathological change. Studies have shown that integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy has a good therapeutic effect on HF and can delay or reverse the progression of this disease. This article summarizes the pathogenesis of HF and discusses the diagnosis of HF, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine therapies, and the path of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy, so as to provide ideas for the basic research and clinical application of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the prevention and treatment of HF.
