Abstract

Hepatocellular jaundice arises because of damage to hepatic cells. Jaundice is a condition in which yellowness of skin, sclerae, mucous membranes, and excretions occurs due to hyper bilirubinemia and deposition of bile pigments. It occurs when the ability of the liver to conjugate normal amounts of bilirubin into bilirubin diglucoronide is significantly reduced by inadequate intracellular transport or enzyme systems. In Ayurveda jaundice is described as Kamla roga. Kamala has been described in detail along with its etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, complications and management also. In Ayurveda kamala roga is divided into two parts and Hepatocellular jaundice is very similar to kosthashrita kamla. A lot of medicines either in form of kvatha, vati, churna or arista has been described during the description of treatment of kamla in Ayurveda. Here a case report of a 17 1/2- Years-male having jaundice with increased prothrombin time is being presented who was treated with Ayurveda effectively.
