This project intends to observe the imaging, serum biochemistry, RBP4, CyPA,IGF-1, and insulin resistance in patients with phlegm-turbid internal resistance type non-alcoholic fatty liver by observing the treatment of Qinghua Decoction. To further explore the effects of TCM intervention on the prognosis of patients with fatty liver, predict the risk of coronary artery disease, and form a standardized diagnosis and treatment of fatty liver. It would provide evidence for promotion and application in the next step of clinical practice.
