Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the improvement of dyspepsia in a patient with liver cirrhosis and pancytopenia following traditional Korean medical treatment.

The effect of treatment was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: After treatment, the symptoms of dyspepsia improved and VAS score decreased. Conclusions: Traditional Korean medicine (TKM) could be effective for treatment of dyspepsia in patients with liver cirrhosis.
