Abstract:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in China. However, due to the long-term and occult progression of liver cirrhosis, the diagnosis and treatment of early liver cirrhosis is still a world problem to be solved. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, HBV should be the evil of dampness and heat, the deficiency of vital qi in the body is an important cause of chronic HBV infection, and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis are the pathological basis of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis, and “fire, dampness, deficiency, phlegm and blood stasis” are the core pathogenesis of early liver cirrhosis. Compared with modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has its unique advantages. It can apply decoction based on syndrome differentiation according to the pathogenesis, and intervene in advance through non-drug means such as acupuncture, massage and guidance, so as to jointly play the role of “prevention before disease and treatment before disease”.
