Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with warm moxibustion on patients with end-stage liver disease. Methods A total of 150 patients with chronic end-stage liver disease admitted to Shijiazhuang Fifth Hospital (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”) from November 2019 to January 2022 were selected, and they were divided into two groups by random number table method, with 75 cases in each group. The control group was given traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application therapy, and study group was given traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with warm moxibustion, the treatment lasted for 20 days. The abdominal circumference, body weight, 24 h urine volume, liver function indexes (aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], albumin [Alb], total bilirubin [TBil]), and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score were compared. Results After treatment, the abdominal circumference and body weight of two groups were lower than those before treatment, and 24 h urine volume was more than that before treatment (P＜0.05); the abdominal circumference and body weight of study group were lower than those of control group, and 24 h urine volume was more than that of control group (P＜0.05). The improvement effect of abdominal circumference of study group was better than that of control group (P＜0.05). After treatment, AST, ALT, and TBil of two groups were lower than those before treatment, and Alb was higher than that before treatment; and AST, ALT, and TBil of study group were lower than those of control group, and Alb was higher than that of control group (P＜0.05). At 10, 20, and 30 days after treatment, MELD scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment, and those in the MELD scores of study group were lower than that of control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with warm moxibustion can improve the abdominal circumference and liver function of patients with end-stage liver disease, reduce the MELD score, and have a positive impact on the prognosis of patients.
