Abstract

Vrukkashmari, described in Ayurveda as one of the Ashtamahagada, is a Kapha-pradhana Tridoshaja disorder characterized by the formation of urinary calculi. It can be correlated with renal calculi (urolithiasis) in contemporary medicine. A 57-year-old male patient presented with complaints of Sakashta Mutrapravrutti, Sadaha Mutrapravrutti, and dribbling micturition for two months. The patient was managed with Ayurvedic formulations including Gokshuradi Guggulu, Punarnava Guggulu, Arogyavardhini Vati, Chandraprabha Vati, Punarnava Mandura, Gandhaka Rasayana, a combination of Punarnava, Gokshura, Pashanbheda and Avipattikara Churna, along with Sukhavirechana Churna and dietary regulations. Assessment was performed through serial ultrasonography and clinical evaluation. Follow-up ultrasound reports revealed resolution of the ureteric stone, hydronephrosis, hydroureteronephrosis, and pelvicalyceal system dilatation. Although renal calculi persisted, significant symptomatic relief and improvement in urinary tract pathology were observed. The study suggests that Ayurvedic management may provide effective symptomatic relief and aid in preventing complications associated with renal calculi.
