Abstract :
Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) is a progressive condition characterized by long-standing liver inflammation, hepatocellular degeneration, and fibrosis. Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), a severe form of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), is increasingly prevalent in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), posing complex therapeutic challenges. A 57-year-old male diagnosed with CLD and NASH associated with T2DM presented to Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Hospital, Derabassi, Punjab, with complaints of weakness, anemia, black stools, facial puffiness, itchy sclera, constipation, disturbed sleep, and mild breathlessness. He was admitted and treated through a comprehensive Ayurvedic protocol including Panchakarma therapies and Ayurvedic formulations. The patient reported marked relief in weakness, anemia, constipation, sleep quality, and respiratory discomfort. Laboratory investigations showed significant biochemical improvement: total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin and direct bilirubin were dropped. Fibroscan findings also showed clinical progress. This case highlights the promising role of Ayurvedic integrative management in improving liver function and systemic symptoms in CLD (NASH) associated with T2DM.
