简要总结
Introduction
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prototype of amavata. Ama is one of the causes of dhatukshaya which is not mentioned in the listed features of amavata. No studies attempt to establish the association of dhatukshaya in amavata. Raktakshaya can be easily assessed by laboratory tests such as a complete hemogram. A preliminary study is, therefore, planned to understand the association of amavata and raktakshaya.
Materials and Methods
A minimum of 25 OPD patients suffering from amavata (RA as per ACR/EULAR criteria 2010) will be studied at Lupus Clinic, Pune 411002. Clinical features of amavata including their severity, and the features of ama and its severity (assessed by validated instrument) will be evaluated along with features of raktakshaya described in Ayurveda and a complete hemogram with red cell morphology.
Outcome
Analysis and interpretation of study findings to know the correlation between the clinical features of amavata (RA) and hemogram along with features of raktakshaya. The results will be disseminated on an appropriate platform (conference paper/journal article)
