| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
Boo-ja and Cheon-o are not commonly prescribed, but are necessary for some clinical conditions, dispite the fact that some negative effects have been known to occur with these medicines. Hence, consequences for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT) due to herbal medicines, including boo-ja and cheon-o are here reported.
Methods:

The study is about the comparison and the investigation of LFT, and all results were taken upon their hospitalization and upon their departure. The standard of liver injury was used as a standard for their examinations.
Results:
1. No Change in normal limit : 34 of the 40 2. Increased AST. ALT from when they were hospitalized : 2 of 40 Normalized AST, ALT from when they were hospitalized with results higher than normal : 6 of 40 3. These results show no side-effects, therefore suggest that these herbal medicines, including boo-ja and cheon-o, do not cause adverse side-effectsfor patients of this kind if administered as was done in this study. |
