In a clinical setting, work has been carried out to study the effectiveness of the herbal remedy “Hepaton” in alcoholic liver damage. There were two groups of patients under observation according to the duration of the disease up to 5 years – group 1 and more than 5 years – group 2. Within each
group, subgroups A and B were distinguished. Patients of subgroup A took the herbal remedy “Gepaton”, patients of subgroup B did not take “Gepaton”. In addition, all patients received the same type of detoxification treatment; no other drugs affecting the hepatobiliary system were prescribed.
To assess the functional state of the liver in patients, the serum activity of the following enzymes was determined: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), as well as indicators of cholesterol, creatinine, total
bilirubin.
