Livitol-17 consist of the 3 whole herbs and extract which has antioxidant, hepatoprotective as well as reno-protective properties. The aim of this trial is to study the efficacy of herbal supplement to improve the liver function of alcoholic liver disease subject.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Intervention Group

All the eligible participants will receive Livitol-17 capsules. It consist of 390 mg of whole herbs and extract of Phyllanthus niruri (Bhumyamalaki), Boerhaavia diffusa (Punarnava) and Picroorrhiza kurroa (Katuki).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from baseline in AST(Aspartate Aminotransferase) [3 months]

    The above mentioned test will be measured with panel of Liver function test at central laboratory.

  2. Change from baseline in ALT(Alanine Aminotransferase) [3 months]

    The above mentioned test will be measured with panel of Liver function test at central laboratory.

  3. Change from baseline in ALP(Alkaline Phosphatase) [3 months]

    The above mentioned test will be measured with panel of Liver function test at central laboratory.

  4. Change from baseline in GGT(Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) [3 months]

    The above mentioned test will be measured with panel of Liver function test at central laboratory.

  5. Change from baseline in serum total bilirubin [3 months]

    The above mentioned test will be measured with panel of Liver function test at central laboratory.

  6. Number of Subject with adverse events [3 months]

    Adverse events is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that may not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment, but resulted in a dose reduction or discontinuation of treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in radiological response [3 months]

    The degree of fatty infiltration will be assessed by ultrasound.

  2. Change in maddrey discriminant function(DF) [3 months]
