In [[Ayurveda]], rather than disease, mainly the syndromes are described and ''kshatakshina'' is also a syndrome. ''Kshata'' means injury and ''kshina'' means depletion of tissue. The term literally means depletion of tissues due to injury. It includes various pathologies leading to depletion of tissues in the body as a result of external and internal injuries. It shows close resemblance with tuberculosis, however the cardinal cause in ''kshatakshina'' is injury. Hemoptysis (symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis), hematuria (symptom of renal tuberculosis) and diarrhea (symptom of intestinal tuberculosis) all have cardinal symptoms of tuberculosis which are described as the symptom of ''kshatakshina''. It refers to those dreaded complications of tuberculosis that  appear suddenly and require prompt treatment just as acute onset of chest-pain in patient of tuberculosis who suddenly develops pneumothorax due to rupture of subpleural blebs and massive painless hematuria in the patient of genitourinary tuberculosis. Similar to tuberculosis, there is impaired immunity in ''kshatakshina'' patients also. ''Kshatakshina'' refers to cluster of diseases like spontaneous pneumothorax and renal tuberculosis, whereas presence of hemoptysis and hematuria in a single disease suggests a pulmonary-renal syndrome (eg, Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis). The diseases due to excess exertion during work or occupational hazards can also be referred to ''kshatakshina''.
