Abstract
Objectives: This case report was executed to confirm the efficacy and safety of Injincheonggan-tang on two patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B. Methods: We reviewed the changes of clinical progress and laboratory records of patients with chronic hepatitis B who did not want to take any antiviral or interferon therapy. One patient has visited the department of internal medicine I of Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital, from October 2010 and the other, from October 2006. Both of them were prescribed with Injincheonggan-tang and laboratory tests were conducted as well. Results and Conclusions: AST, ALT and HBV DNA which are significant indicators of liver function were controlled in the normal range during the herbal treatment period and subjective clinical symptoms were also improved after taking Injincheonggan-tang.
