Abstract：Objective To study the effect of low dose glutamin on liver function and endotoxemia in severe chronic hepatitis B patients.Methods Forty patients with severe chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into the control group and the experiment group.The control group received the conventional treatment and the experiment group received addiontional glutamine treatment(5 g tid).The period of the treatment is two weeks.ALT, AST, TBIL, PT, A, CHE and endotoxin( ET) were detected before and after treatment in the two groups respectively.Re-sults The liver function and serum ET were both improved significantly after two weeks′treatment, compared with those before treatment in the two groups(P<0.01).Both of the two parameters had no significant difference between the two groups after the treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion Adding low dose glutamine(5 g tid) to the conventional treatment can not ameliorate the endotoxemia and liver function in patients with severe chronic hepatitis B.
