Effect of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
Objective To explore efficacy and safety of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP).Methods Clinical data of 151 pregnant women with ICP received treatment at Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from January 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the differences in treatment plans,all patients were divided into control group(100 cases)and observation group(51 cases).Control group received basic therapy,including ursodeoxycholic acid capsules and adenosylmethionine for injection.Observation group was given Yinchenhao decoction with modified for one week on the basis of treatment in control group.Serum indicators of laboratories,itching status,maternal and infant outcomes,and safety between two groups were compared.Results After treatment,serum total bilirubin,alanine transaminase,aspartate transaminase,total bile acid levels,itching score in two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment,and observation group was lower than control group(P<0.05).Itch relief rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group,and itch control time in observation group was significantly shorter than that in control group(P<0.05).Incidence rate of cesarean section,amniotic fluid turbidity and postpartum hemorrhage in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group,and gestational age at termination of pregnancy in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05).After treatment,ratio of peak systolic and end diastolic flow velocity of the umbilical artery in two groups were significantly lower than that before treatment,and observation group was lower than control group(P<0.05).No drug allergic reactions occurred during treatment of two groups,and there were no serious complications such as placental abruption or stillbirth.Conclusion Compared to a single western medicine therapy,combination of Chinese and western medicine has a better effect on treating ICP.It can greatly improve levels of serum bile acids,bilirubin and liver enzymes,reduce itching,and improve maternal and infant outcomes.It has minimal side effects,and has good safety.
