Abstract:
Liver cirrhosis (LC) is the terminal pathological stage of various chronic liver diseases and is characterized by chronic inflammation, diffuse fibrosis, pseudolobular formation, and portal-systemic collateral circulation, which belongs to the category of jaundice, hypochondriac pain, and abdominal distension in traditional Chinese medicine. At present, there is still a lack of specific clinical treatment methods, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy can effectively delay the progression of LC. Based on the principle of evidence-based medicine and with reference to the summary of recent clinical practice and the latest guidelines and expert consensus published in China and globally, the guidelines in this article are formed by objectively evaluating the evidence of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment of LC and extensively soliciting the opinions of experts in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine, clinical medicine, and clinical epidemiology, so as to provide a reference for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment of LC in clinical practice.
