'Asrugdara' is one of the common disease characterisedby excessive menstrual bleeding in menses and in intermenstrual period due to its Raktapradoshaja origin andpredominance of Pitta. The clinical manifestation of Asrugdara closely mimics with Menorrhagia, Metrorrhagiaand DUB. It is caused due to many reason like uterine defect, ovarion tumor and many other but according toAyurveda it is a Raktapradoshaja Vyadhi which may caused due to liver dysfunction because it is a mulsthana ofRaktavaha strotasa. It may life threatening if not treated properly and immediately. AIM: To assess the status ofLFT in Asrugdara patients. Method: Survey of 60 patients with questionnaire fulfilling the inclusion criteria.Study Design: The method of survey was questionnaire and observed LFT level in the patients. Result: Out of 60patients Aartavaatipravrutti (In days) observed in 43.33% patients were from grade 3, Artavaatipravrutti (Inquantity): 56.67% were from grade 2, Katishool/Udarashool: were present in 61.67%, Grathit Artavata(Consistency): were absent in 75%. The p-value from ANOVA test applied on the LFT values for Serum TotalBilirubin, Serum Direct Bilirubin, Serum Indirect Bilirubin, ALP, Serum total protein and Serum albumin value isgreater than 0.05. But at the same time p-value for SGOT and SGPT is less than 0.05. Conclusion: In the studyincluded 8 parameters of LFT out of which only 2 were statistically significant and 6 were non significant.
