6. Brief Resume of the Intended Work
6.1 Need for the study:
Prameha roga is mentioned as one among the Mahagadas in our classical text books like Charaka Samhitha and Sushrutha Samhitha. In all Prameha the Tridosha’s are invariably involved, hence while explaining Sankhya samprapthi of Prameha, it is said that, there are 20 types of Prameha roga produced due to the vitiation of tridosha’s. It is also a disease where there is involvement of many body tissues. According to the Ayurvedic Classics, the pathogenesis of Prameha is having the involvement of Kleda (liquidity), Mamsa (muscle tissue), Meda (fatty tissue), Raktha (blood), Vasa (adipose tissue), Majja (bone marrow), Sukra (substance related to procreation), Lasika (lymph tissue), Rasa dhatu and Ojus.
The numbers of cases of diabetes in India in 2002 was: 31.7 million.
The estimated number of diabetes cases in India for 2030 will be: 79.4 million (estimate by American Diabetes Association, April 2004). People living in Indian metros suffering from diabetes are 12 %. Hence the present study is taken to study Diabetes Mellitus as per Ayurvedic perspective.
While explaining the diagnosis of Prameha, it is said that, increased frequency of micturition and turbidity of the urine are the common characteristic features of the 20 types of Prameha. The specific features of Vataja, Pittaja and Kaphaja Prameha, based on colour, taste, touch and smell according to the dosha predominance in urine are explained in Charaka Samhitha Chikitsa Sthana.
Ayurvedic classics have given importance for the physical examination of urine for the diagnosis of Prameha. Moreover the management of Prameha is also explained on the basis of predominant dosha. This aspect is taken as base for the present study. i.e., the predominant dosha of prameha will be assessed based on the physical characters of urine of the pramehi.
6.2 Review of Literature:
Ø All the Classical and contemporary information including the web site, mentioning the disease along with the proposed clinical study will be thoroughly reviewed.
Ø Review on various aspects of Prameha mentioned in the classics.
Ø Mootrapareeksha mentioned in Yogaratnakara.

Ø Studies on the concept of Dosha – Dooshya samyoga Vaishistya w.s.r. to Mootrapareeksha in Prameha roga. Dr. Baghel A. S.(J.M.) – 1994
6.3 Objective of the study.
Ø To identify prameha as per Classical reference from Sushrutha Samhitha, Nidana sthana.
Ø Physical examination of urine of the patients who have diagnosed as per Ayurvedic description.
Ø To analyze different types of Prameha based on findings of observational study.
Ø Analyzing the Upadravas according to doshas in prameha.
