Glycyrrhiza glabra is distributed widely throught Asia, and its dried root, Glycyrrhizae radix or licorice root, has been used as traditional drug in Eastern as well as in Western medicine, having anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and detoxicating effects
Glisirizin (Glycyrrhizin) sudah dikenal di Indonesia dan dunia sebagai preparat obat yang secara biokimiawi memberikan manfaat amat besar bagi perbaikan fungsi dan histologi hati. Banyak pakar bidang ilmu penyakit hati (hepatologist) telah mengakui manfaat glisirizin dalam pengobatan penyakit hati kronik. Di Indonesia, Ali Sulaiman, dkk. (2002)9 melaporkan pengalaman pemakaian SNMC® secara m…
Chronic hepatitis C is a slowly progressive liver disease that may evolve insidiously to cirrhosis and proses an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
In Japan, ALT normalization induced by long-term i.v. glycyrrhizin treatment reportedly reduces the progression of liver disease to hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis C patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term (4-wk) feasibility and efficacy on serum ALT of three or six times per week i.v glycyrrhizin therapy in European patients
. The 10th-year rates of cumulative HCC incidence for Groups A and B were 7% and 12%, respectively, and the 15th-year rates were 12% and 25%. By Cox regression analysis, the relative risk of HCC incidence in patients not treated with SNMC (Group B) was 2.49 compared with that of patients treated with SNMC (Group A)
Majority of the patients admitted to a hospital with severe infections are initially started with intravenous medications. Short intravenous course of therapy for 2-3 days followed by oral medications for the remainder of the course is found to be beneficial to many patients. This switch over from intravenous to oral therapy is widely practiced in the case of antibiotics in many developed count…
Severe acute exacerbation (SAE) of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) may progress to liver failure with high potential mortality despite the prompt treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogs. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glycyrrhizin in the treatment of CHB with SAE.
To investigate the role and significance of serum IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 in the occurrence and development of chronic hepatitis B. Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 levels and liver function in patients with hepatitis B and relationship between serum viral load in 70 cases of CHB patients and 20 healthy subjects (control group)
