Abstract:Liver fibrosis is a pathophysiological process of abnormal hyperplasia of intrahepatic connective tissue caused by a variety of causes. Its pathogenesis is complex, and there is no effective treatment to prevent or slow down the process of liver fibrosis. In recent years, studies have found that traditional Chinese medicine has a unique therapeutic effect on the process of liver fibrosis. Traditional Chinese medicine antagonizes liver fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells, regulating adipocytokines, alleviating liver inflammatory response, improving oxidative stress, inhibiting the capillarization of sinusoidal endothelial cells, etc.; acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the immune function of the body, improve the state of liver function, and block liver fibrosis progress of liver fibrosis. This paper reviews the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis.
