To explore the relationship between the liver fibrosis criteria and TCM Syndrome type in patients suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods: Seventy-nine patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver diagnosed by B ultrasonography were classified by TCM Syndrome Differentiation and their liver fibrosis criteria was determined and compared with those of the healthy subjects as control. Results: Levels of procollagen Ⅲ (PCⅢ), hyaluronic acid (HA), collagen Ⅳ(CⅣ) and laminin (LN) in the fatty liver group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05, P＜0.01). In respect to the TCM Syndrome-types, PCⅢ, CⅣ and LN in patients of Phlegm-stasis combined type were significantly higher than those in patients of Spleen deficiency-Phlegm dampness Syndrome-type and Damp-Heat Syndrome-type (P＜0.05, P＜0.01), while HA in different groups was insignificantly different (P＞0.05). Conclusion: There was trend of liver fibrosis in fatty liver patients. It was indicated that the Phlegm-stasis combined Syndrome-type possibly was the main TCM pathologic factor of the increasing of fibrosis criteria for non-alcoholic fatty liver.
