Objective  To review the efficacy and safety of Kushenin combined with Adefovir Dipivoxil for Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB). 
Method  Randomized controlled trails of Kushenin combined with Adefovir Dipivoxil for CHB were gathered from PubMed, CBMdisc (1978 to 2009), and CSJD (1989 to 2009), while other relative researches were searched manually; every research was evaluated, and then analyzed with RevMan 5.0.0 software. 
Result  Ten randomized controlled trials were included; among total 855 patients, 436 were in trial group and the other 419 were in control group. As the Meta-analysis showed, the therapeutic effect of kushenin combined with Adefovir Dipivoxil was better than that of Adefovir Dipivoxil in aspects of improving the negative rate of serum ALT (RR=1.28, 95%CI 1.17 to 1.40), the negative rate of serum HBV-DNA (RR=1.27, 95%CI 1.13 to 1.42), the negative rate of serum HBeAg (RR=1.80, 95%CI 1.32 to 2.44), and the conversion rate of HBeAg and anti-HBe (RR2.06, 95%CI 1.43 to 2.95). 
Conclusion  Kushenin combined with Adefovir Dipivoxil in treating CHB can improve the conversion rate of HBeAg and anti-HBe and further take better therapeutic effect.
