* Because Z Liao’s liver functions were severely damaged, even though both SGOP and SGPT indicators were back to normal levels, his liver functions still needed some time to fully recover. During this period of recovery, the patient continued to take the Chinese herbal remedy Liver No. 1™ ( 爱华活肝片).
