The standard of liver injury was used as a standard for their examinations.
Results were as follows : No Change in normal limit : 28 of the 36 Increased AST. ALT from when they were hospitalized : 2 of 36 Normalized AST, ALT from when they were hospitalized with results higher than normal : 6 of 36 These results show no side-effects, therefore suggest that these herbal medicines, including boo-ja and cheon-o, do not cause adverse side-effects for patients of this kind if administered as was done in this study. |
