The objective of this study is to evaluate the distribution of intestinal flora in patients with cirrhosis compared with healthy people and investigate the relationship between the distribution of intestinal flora and Child-Pugh classification of liver function, and to analyze the effect of pro-biotic treatment on the improvement of intestinal flora and liver biochemical indices in patients with cirrhosis. Twenty-six patients with compensated cirrhosis and 22 with decompensated cirrhosis who were admitted to our hospital from February 2014 to July 2014, as well as 21 healthy adult subjects, were randomly selected. Patients with cirrhosis have varying degrees of intestinal dysbacteriosis. Pro-biotic treatment can effectively relieve dysbacteriosis, improve biochemical indices, and reduce blood ammonia in patients with cirrhosis.
