Objective To analyze the effect of ear point bloodletting therapy on liver function indicators in patients with drug-induced liver injury. Methods This study selected a total of 60 patients with drug-induced liver injury admitted to the Department of Spleen, Stomach, Liver and Gallbladder of Kunshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023, and divided them into two groups using a digital random table method, with 30 patients in each group. The control group received routine intervention, while the observation group received ear point bloodletting therapy on this basis. Evaluate two groups based on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome efficacy and liver function indicators. Results Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly improved (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a more significant decrease in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) after intervention (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with drug-induced liver injury who receive ear point bloodletting therapy have significant clinical effects, which can alleviate traditional Chinese medicine syndromes and promote the improvement of liver function indicators.
