چکیده
INTRODUCTION Indian Childhood Cirrhosis is a disease showed in mystery, since its first description in 1000 B.C. as Mukhmandikagrah and more recently by Sen in 1887. It is almost incurable and hence an unfortunately fatal disease. However, the use of Liv.52 in the therapy of Indian Childhood Cirrhosis along with steroid and other institutional treatment has yielded some promising tests to various workers (Mathur 1957, Paulose 1963, Sheth and Tibrewala, 1968, Vyas 1969 and Singh and Agarwal 1978). The present study was a planned double blind study to observe the role of Liv.52 in management of Indian Childhood Cirrhosis.
