The average time of recovery of liver function was 16.5 days, the average time of recovery of serum bilirubin was 13.8 days, and the average time of recovery of thymol turbidity test was 24.7 days. Among the cured cases, 13 cases had liver function reexamination within 3 months after discharge, of which 12 cases were normal; 1 case had glutamic pyruvic transaminase above 119 units one month after discharge (which may be related to premature drug withdrawal and immediate physical exercise), and then returned to normal after treatment with Artemisia selengensis.
