Effects of Aloe Vera Linne Treatment on Clinical Chemistry in Patients with Liver Disease

간장진환 환자의 임상에 미치는 알로에의 효과

In order to study the effects of Aloe vera Linne treatment on the clinical chemistry in patients with liver disease, seven patients were administered orally with 800~1, 600 mg of Aloe vera Linne four times day for six months. The high levels of serum AST, ALT, ALP, ${\gamma}$-GTP and total bilirubin in patients were significantly reduced by adminstration of Aloe vera L. The reduced serum albumin/globulin value was increased by Aloe vera L. treatment. But other blood parameters of clinical chemistry values were not affected by Aloe vera L. treatment. These data suggest that Aloe vera L. can be effective in treatment of the patients with liver disease.
