Abstract
Introduction: Alcoholic Liver Disease: Anatomy The liver is the largest organ in the abdominal cavity and the most complex. It consists of a myriad of individual microscopic functional units called lobules. They are Kosthashakashrita kamala and Shakhashrita kamala. Koshtashakashrita kamala is clinically characterized by yellowish discolouration of skin, mucous membrane and even excreta and pathologically there is no obstruction to Pittamarga. Changes in Liver (Yakrit) in Various Types of Liver Diseases (Kamala): Chronic infections ultimately they cause the Liver Cirrhosis the most common causes of Liver cirrhosis are Chronic alcoholic intoxication, Hepatitis like Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and Chronic ingestion of hepatotoxic drugs the common histo-pathological (i.e. Anatomical Changes are ) Grossly, with the naked eye, a cirrhotic liver appears nodular, "hub-nailed", on the external surface and nodular on the cut surface. The liver is usually indurated shrunken and yellowish-tan but it may be enlarged and yellow as in alcoholic fatty cirrhosis, rusty as in hemochromatosis or large and green as in biliary obstruction. liver contains complex parenchymal cells that perform multiple functions which are essential for life. The liver does not easily demonstrate dysfunction at least in its metabolic activities. This is because of enormous reserve capacity and marvelous regenerating power of the liver and only a small portion of the liver is enough to perform all the functions Exposure to dosha vitiating factors leads to vitiation of Pitta, especially its ushna-tikshnaguna, to cause disturbance in the normal physiology of the saumya, sneha quality of ojas which is already in circulation with raktadhatu. Along with this reduced the raktadhatu’sposhakras (required in formation of raktadhatu) is also reduced Conclusion: The Principles of the Ayurveda should be applied to treat and find out the causes and effect of treatment of Kamala (Jaundice or Liver diseases) and these results has to observed by histological (Anatomical features of Liver or Yakrit) for the better understanding of Kamla or Jaundice.
