Effciency of berberise vulgaris preparation in complex treatment of viral В hepatitis and its influence on coagulation function of the blood

The aim of this research is to study the efficiency of Berberise vulgaris roots and its influence on the coagulation function of the blood in case of viral "B" hepatitis. 76 patients (37 males, 39 females) with viral "B" hepatitis at the age of 18 - 68 have been urder observation. Indeces of coagulative system of the blood reflex changes in all phases of haemocoagulation and anticoagulative system. Time of plasma's recalcification, protrombin index, fibrinogen and fibnnolythic activity, free blood geparin, tolerance of plasma to geparin have been studied during investigation. Analysis of obtained data of the condition of coagulative system of the blood demonstrated distinctive changes to hypocoagulation depending on the severity of the disease. The obtained data give the possibity to come to the conclusion that Berberise vulgaris influences favourably on the clinical coarse of the disease, biochemical indeces and coagulative system of the blood.
