Kamla is one of the significant Pittaja Nanatmaja Vyadhis described in Ayurveda, characterized by Haridra Varna of the Twak and Netra, loss of appetite, and discoloration of urine and stool. Depending on its Sthana of manifestation, it is classified into Koshthashrita and Shakha-Ashrita Kamla. Shakha-Ashrita Kamla occurs when vitiated Pitta moves from Koshtha to Shakha, leading to obstruction in Pitta Vaha Srotas, correlating with obstructive jaundice in modern parlance. The present case study focuses on evaluating the diagnostic significance of serum bilirubin (S. Bilirubin) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in a patient of Shakha-Ashrita Kamla. A 45-year-old male presented with complaints of yellow discoloration of eyes and urine, anorexia, and mild abdominal discomfort. Biochemical analysis revealed markedly elevated S. Bilirubin and ALP levels, confirming obstructive pathology. The Ayurvedic diagnosis of Shakha-Ashrita Kamla was made based on Lakshanas and Dosha-Dushya Sammurchchana. The patient was treated with Deepana-Pachana, Mridu Virechana, and Pitta Shamaka measures. After treatment, clinical improvement was observed, along with significant reduction in S. Bilirubin and ALP levels. This case highlights the relevance of integrating biochemical markers with Ayurvedic diagnostic parameters to understand disease pathology and treatment response in Kamla. Such an approach bridges traditional and modern perspectives for more accurate diagnosis and effective management.
