Jaundice is a frequent medical problem that affects people of all ages. It is important to note that jaundice is not an actual sickness as such itself but rather a symptom of liver illness brought on by an increase in the quantity of bilirubin circulating in the blood owing to improper metabolism and excretion in the urine. The aim of this investigation is to investigate the impact of grape (Vitis Vinifera) seed powder along with vitamin C supplementation on serum bilirubin levels in patients with acquired hepatic jaundice. In addition, it's the first research of its kind to investigate the aforementioned function of grape seed extract with vitamin C in healthy individuals specifically.
According to my study, the division of patients was done between two groups: one was named as Conventional group (CG) and other was named as Intervention group (IG). The conventional treatment group received only conventional medication and intervention group was given Grape-C capsule with dose of one tablet per day for 4 weeks after lunch along with conventional medication. Grape-C capsule continued for 4 weeks and the data was obtained at the initiation and at end of intervention (after 4th week).
According to my research study results the intervention group had a significant decrease in bilirubin levels, ALT, AST, ALP and increase the albumin and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) compared to the conventional group. The p-values for the comparison between pre and post intervention levels were highly significant rather than the conventional groups indicating a statistically significant difference.
