Methods

60 elderly patients with portal hypertension of hepatitis b liver cirrhosis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group using random number table method from August 2014 to January 2018 in Tai'an central hospital, which included 30 cases in each group. The control group underwent routine hepatoprotective, antiviral and anti fibrosis treatment. The treatment group underwent oral carvedilol treatment on the basis of conventional treatment. Six months after oral carvedilol, portal venous blood flow dynamics, the degree of esophageal gastric varices, liver fibrosis index and blood coagulation index changes were observed. In the portal venous hemodynamics, liver fibrosis index and blood coagulation index changes, the control group and treatment group were using two independent sample t test. In the aspect of the change of the degree of esophageal gastric varices, control group and treatment group were using rank sum test and Mann-Whitney U test.

Results

Before taking carvedilol, there were no statistically significant difference in portal venous blood flow dynamics, the degree of esophageal gastric varices, liver fibrosis index and blood coagulation index between control group and treatment group (P>0.05). After taking carvedilol, the above four aspects of the treatment effect were significantly improved (P<0.05).

Conclusion
