Research progress of ulinastatin in the treatment of liver diseases.

Ulinastatin (UTI) is a trypsin inhibitor observed in urine. UTI can treat some diseases by inhibiting the broad-spectrum hydrolysis activity of various enzymes and other pharmacological effects. UTI can widely treat pancreatitis, systemic multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, circulatory failure, and toxic shock clinically. The liver is a major metabolic organ of the human body. Various biological metabolic reactions require the liver's participation. When various physical and chemical factors drive the body, it will damage the liver to varying degrees. As a clinically effective drug, UTI is also known to treat some liver diseases. This article mainly describes UTI's research progress in treating septic liver injury, hepatitis, liver fibrosis, autoimmune liver disease with liver failure, and liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
