Abstract
Objective: To treat ascites in patients with grade 3 liver cirrhosis using traditional Chinese medicine, evaluate effectiveness and safety by observing improvements in physical and mental symptoms, explore optimal treatment measures, and benefit clinical practice. Methods: 40 patients with ascites of liver cirrhosis admitted to our department from October 2020 to October 2022 were selected. According to a random number table, all patients were divided into an observation group treated with Yao Medicine and a control group treated with conventional Western medicine, with 20 cases in each group. The improvement of adverse emotions was evaluated before and after treatment using the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The changes in liver function indicators were observed to judge the efficacy and safety. Results: The effective rate in the observation group was 95.00%, and in the control group was 90.00%. The comparison between the two groups showed a significant increase in the effective rate in the observation group, with a statistically significant difference ( P < 0.05), and no adverse reactions were observed. Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significant improvement in all liver function indicators, with a statistically significant difference ( P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the psychological status of the two groups in terms of SDS and SAS scores ( P > 0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, the observation group showed a significant decrease in SDS and SAS scores, with a statistically significant difference ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Yao Medicine can effectively improve the physical and mental symptoms of patients with ascites of liver cirrhosis, with good effectiveness and high safety.
