Abstract

Ayurveda is holistic ancient science of health management described many philosophies related to diseases and their management. Ayurveda mentioned Madhumeha as a type of Prameha which can be correlated to the diabetes in modern medical science. Ayurveda texts encompass details about the consequences of Madhumeha and some manifestations were correlated with modern terminology. In this regard Ayurveda elaborated concept of Madhumehajanit Netra Roga which can be correlated with diabetic retinopathy. Present study endeavours to discuss the similarities and differences among the various components of Madhumehajanit Netra Roga i.e. diabetic retinopathy and its stages on the basis of Dosha Dushya in pathogenesis of Madhumeha. Modern science described “Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio” as a diagnostic indicator in diabetic retinopathy. This pilot study was planned to evaluate role of “Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio” in diagnosis of Madhumehajanit Netra Roga in patients of Madhumeha (Diabetes mellitus).                                 

 

Key-Words: Ayurveda, Diabetes mellitus, Madhumeha, Madhumehajanit Netra Roga, Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio.
