REMEDY FOR ACUTE HEPATITIS OR PREVENTIVE/REMEDY FOR FULMINANT HEPATITIS

摘要

[PROBLEMS] In the case where acute hepatitis progresses to fulminant hepatitis, a large amount of hepatocytes are rapidly broken and, in its turn, the prognosis is seriously worsened. Thus, it is meaningful to predict the progress of acute hepatitis into fulminant hepatitis at the early stage and quickly start an appropriate treatment therefor. Although the prediction of fulminant hepatitis becomes possible owing to the recent advances in test methods and diagnostic techniques, there has been no appropriate preventive/remedy for fulminant hepatitis. Under these circumstances, it is intended to provide a remedy for acute hepatitis or a preventive/remedy for fulminant hepatitis with little side effect. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A medicinal composition for solving the above problem which contains apolipoprotein A-II.
