FMT: Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Cirrhosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with cirrhosis were recruitted and divided into cintrol group and FMT group. Patients in FMT group were carried by fecal microbiota transplantation, and biochemical indexes, intestinal flora and intestinal HIF expression were observed before and after FMT respectively.

Experimental: FMT group Patients were carried by fecal microbiota transplantation which described in detail that fecal bacteria are extracted from the faeces of healthy people and poured into the intestines of patients. |
Other: Healthy fecal bacteria liquid
Fecal bacteria liquid were obtained from healthy people by a feces processor, and perfused into the patient's intestine.
