AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE: A CASE STUDY

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a progressive hepatic disorder characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolic dysfunction, leading to systemic complications and impaired liver function. In Ayurveda, CLD can be correlated with Yaká¹ it Vikara, Kamala, and Udara Roga, where vitiation of Pitta Doá¹£ha, impaired Agni, and Srotas obstruction play a key role in disease pathogenesis. This case study reports the clinical and biochemical outcomes of Ayurvedic management in a 44-year-old male diagnosed with Chronic Liver Disease who presented to Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan, with complaints of generalized weakness(Daurbalya)body pain (Sarira Sula), nausea (Hrillasa), vomiting (Chardi), adominal bloating (Adhmana), and generalized itching (Kandu). The patient underwent Ayurvedic therapeutic interventions along with dietary and lifestyle modifications. Post-treatment evaluation demonstrated marked symptomatic relief and improvement in hepatic biochemical parametersSerum SGOT levels reduced from 54 U/L to 35.81 U/L, SGPT from 52 U/L to 40.62 U/L, and C-reactive protein (CRP) from 8.0 mg/L to 3.01 mg/L, indicating improved hepatocellular function and reduced systemic inflammation. IgE levels showed minimal change (198 IU/mL to 195 IU/mL). The findings suggest that Ayurvedic interventions may have a beneficial role in improving clinical symptoms and liver function parameters in Chronic Liver Disease. However, larger controlled clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings and establish evidence-based integrative treatment protocols.
