Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and immune function of Heluo Shugan tablets as an adjuvant
treatment in patients with hepatitis B virus decompensated cirrhosis. Methods A total of 80 patients with hepatitis B
virus decompensated cirrhosis admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected and divided into
the control group and the observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received conventional
treatment, while the observation group was treated in combination with Heluo Shugan tablets. Both groups received
continuous treatment for 6 months. The clinical efficacy, hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid(HBV-DNA) load, alanine
aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin(TBil), hyaluronic acid(HA), laminin(LN),
procollagen type Ⅲ peptide(PC-Ⅲ), type Ⅳ collagen(Ⅳ-C), spleen thickness, inner diameter of portal vein, inner
diameter of splenic vein, changes of cluster of differentiation antigen(CD)3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+, adverse reactions,complications and recompensatory conditions between the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the total
effective rates of Western medicine treatment(95.00% vs. 62.50%) and traditional Chinese medicine treatment(92.50%
vs. 70.00%) in the observation group were both higher than those in the control group, and the differences were significant
(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the HBV-DNA load, ALT, AST, TBil, HA, LN, PC-Ⅲ, Ⅳ-C, spleen
thickness, portal vein inner diameter and splenic vein inner diameter in the observation group were all lower, and CD3+,
CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ were all higher, with significant differences(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference
in the incidence of adverse reactions and complications between the two groups(P>0.05). The follow-up was conducted
until April 2025. The recompensation rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(37.84%
vs. 16.67%), and the difference was significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The use of Heluo Shugan tablets in patients with
hepatitis B virus decompensated cirrhosis has received good application feedback and has relatively good safety.
