This is a case of refractory ascites due to hepatocellular carcinoma treated with Sasang Constitutional Medication. Refractory ascites, which did not respond to diuretics, was improved with Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang.
2. Methods
We recorded the patient's abdominal circumference, body weight and urine output daily. We also investigated the TTKG(transtubular potassium gradient) values 3 times during the treatment course.
3. Results
the TTKG value of the patient was siginificantly decreased. TTKG values before administration of Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang were 8.41, 10.82, respectively and 4.25 after administration of Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang.
4. Conclusions
We guess that Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang functions as an aldosterone antagonist or increases spironolactone activity through interaction between Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang and spironolactone. But the mechanism of Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang is not clear, so we need more clinical study of refractory ascites improved with Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang and biological study of interaction between Jeoryeongchajeonja-tang and spironolactone.
