Primary outcomes

  1. Liver-to-spleen CT ratio

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Clinical recovery: liver/spleen CT ratio ≥ 1; Obvious effect: liver/spleen CT ratio decreased by 2 grades (severe → mild); Effective: Liver/spleen CT ratio decreased by 1 grade (severe → moderate, or moderate → mild) :+ Ineffective: liver/spleen CT ratio did not change or even increased.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The reduction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome integral

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Clinical recovery: syndrome integral decreased ≥ 95%; Obvious Effective:70%≤the reduction of syndrome integral <95%; Effective :30%≤the reduction of syndrome score <70%; Ineffective: less than 30% reduction in syndrome integral. note: The reduction of TCM syndrome integral (%) = (Pre-treatment integral - post-treatment integral)/Pre-treatment integralx 100%

  2. the reduction of ALT

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Clinical control: Liver enzymology (ALT) returned to normal; + Obvious effect: liver enzyme (ALT) index decreased by ≥50%; Effective: Liver enzyme (ALT) index decreased <50% but≥ 30%; Ineffective: Liver enzyme (ALT) index decreased <30%。

  3. the reduction of blood lipid index

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    blood lipid index including TC、TG、and HDL-C
