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''.

=== ''Vidhi Vimarsha'' / Applied Inferences===

==== Derivation of term ====
+
''Kshatakshina'' is a disease characterized by depletion of body tissues due to chest injury. In present era, the condition occurs due to over exertion, strenuous work  beyond one’s capacity, direct or indirect injury to the chest. The conditions like pneumothorax, pleural effusion and related respiratory conditions need to be addressed simultaneously by the surgical team to prevent progression of emaciation and complications of injury to vital lung tissues.
   −
Another reading of this term ‘kshata kshina’ is ‘kshina kshata’. This term implies that the injury to the chest (kshata) is caused by diminution of vital elements, like semen and ojas (kshina).
+
==== Etiopathology ====
Some other scholar read ‘kshata kshina’ as ‘kshata kshaya’. According to them, description of this chapter refers to two diseases, viz. ‘kshata’ and ‘kshaya’. In this context, vide the description in the verse no.13, the cardinal sign of both ‘kshata’ and ‘kshina’ are described. This view is not tenable, because this disease is described in the singular form, while describing the premonitory signs and symptoms (vide verse 12) and prognostic signs and symptoms (vide verse 14).
  −
From the above it appears that the ‘kshata kshina’ is a singular entity as a disease, and as a result of causative factors, its signs and symptoms are manifested in two different ways.
     −
==== Nirghata ====
+
The etiological factors can be divided into two categories viz. (1) Exogenous factors related to over-exertion/ strenuous physical activity that causes trauma to the lung tissues, excess weight lifting and excess sexual intercourse. Studies showed that strenuous athletic activities like vigorous swimming, heavy weight lifting, jolting, etc. can cause pneumothorax (PTX), pleural effusion and pneumomediastinum (PTM) etc.  (2) Endogenous factors related to malnutrition that cause depletion of body tissues and excess intake of food having dry properties (less intake of unctuous dietary substances like ghee, oil, fats. Lipids leading to dryness in body)
 +
The etiological factors described for ''kshata'' are related to those that cause spontaneous lung injury.
   −
“Nirghata” is a type of weapon.  Alternattively, the term ‘nirghata’ implies throwing a substance with the impact of excessive strength.
+
==== Pathogenesis ====
Difference between kshata kshina and rajayakshma:
  −
Though kshata kshina resembles with rajayakshma, the latter is caused by the simultaneous vitiation of all the three doshas, and it has a different etio-pathogenic processs (vide chikitsa 8:15). Signs and symptoms of these two diseases, namely ‘kshata kshina’ and ‘rajayakshma’ are different in presentation. Negligence in the treatment of kshata kshina leads to rajayakshma. 
  −
Onset of diseaes: The tern ‘Avyakta’ literally means unmanifested. But in the present context it implies less manifested. This shows that the disease has acute onset/sudden onset without any incubation period. The term ‘vaisesika’, in the verse 13 implies ‘specially manifested’ or ‘excessively manifested’
  −
The term kshina, meaning diminution of tissue elements, implies diminution of semen and ojas (vital essence).
  −
According to some other scholars, the description in verse 13, pertains to the two groups of signs and symptoms, which are manifested in two different stages (type of this disease).
     −
==== Etiological factors ====
+
The disease has acute onset without any premonitory signs. This shows sudden appearance of clinical features due to traumatic etiology.  As disease progresses, it leads to depletion of body tissues causing emaciation.
 +
*''Dosha'' : ''Vata-pitta'' aggravation, ''kapha'' depletion
 +
*''Dhatu'': Rasa, shukra, mamsa and  ojas
 +
*''Samprapti'' type: ''Atipravritti'' and ''dhatukshaya janya''
 +
*Clinical features and conditions resembling the disease
   −
All the mentioned etiological factors can be divided into two categories viz. (1) exogenous factors related to over-exertion/ strenuous malpractice of physical activity that causes trauma to the lung tissues, (2) endogenous factors related to malnutrition that causes depletion of body tissues. The etiological factors described for kshata are related to those that causes spontaneous lung injury and the clinical feature suggest that it is a condition of pneumothorax. Studies showed that strenuous athletic activites like vigorous swimming, heavy weight lifting, jolting, etc. can cause pneumothorax (PTX) and pneumomediastinum (PTM).
+
The patient suffers from fever, pain, mental depression, diarrhea, anorexia, indigestion, cough with putrid sputum grayish in color, foul smelling, and yellow and knotty, in large quantities, with blood.
 +
*Subjective and objective parameters (scales with references)  
 +
*Clinical examination: Chest auscultation for added sounds, decreased air entry, Body mass index. Lung function tests including spirometry
 +
*Pathological/radiological/ investigations:  Sputum test for presence of Acid fast bacilli, RBCs, Chest X ray for fracture of ribs, opacity in lungs, pneumonia patch, pneumothorax, plural effusion etc.  
 +
*Differential diagnosis:Pulmonary tuberculosis, Carcinoma of lungs, oesophageal varieces
 +
*Complications
 +
**Pulmonary tuberculosis
 +
*Prognosis: Curable if newly developed, and mildly emaciated, palliable in chronic stage, incurable in advanced stage and severely emaciated with multiple system involvement

Examing the etiological factors, pathogenesis and clinical features it is clear all the three disease have same etiopathogenesis as well as clinical manifestation.  Now the question arise that if all these three disease are same then what is the reason for their separate description? To answer this question it is necessary to explore the similarity and distinction between these three diseases. The main difference between these three appears in their management as follows:
+

Kshaya is described as one among the four causes of rajayakshma and at some place it is used as synonym of rajayakshma like kshayaja kasa, kshayaja grahani etc.
+
Chest physiotherapy for improving lung functions is advised.  
Sushruta describes 8 types of kshaya as–vyavaya (sexual intercourse), shoka(grief), sthavirya (old age), vyayam (exercise), adhva (excess walking), upvasa(fasting), vrana (traumatic injury) and urahkshata (chest injury) (Su. Ut. 41/21). Some scholar hold the view that kshaya and rajayaksma are two different diseases, kshaya is a condition of excessive depletion of dhatus whereas rajayakshma is an aoupsargika disease i.e. infectious state. According to them when infection occurs in an immunocompromised state then only it can be called rajayakshma. 
  −
According to Ayurveda rajayakshma is a syndrome that has many associated diseases both as predromal disease as well as  complication and therefore vivid description of rajayakshma is available in the Ayurvedic texts. Cluster of eleven, six or three symptoms that may persist as an independent disease, is termed as rajayakshma.  Many synonyms are given for rajayakshma describing the disease from different angles as the two synonyms we described above and many others. Basically the vast diversity of the disease can’t be wrapped in a single term and therefore Acharya used various terminologies for full description of this multifactorial and multidimensional disease. Rajayakshma means an immunocompromised state that is more suspectible for developing secondary infections.

Examing the etiology and clinical feature of ksayaja kasa and rajayakshma make it clearer:

From the above discussion it is very clear that ksayaja kasa refers to kasa in rajayakshma i.e. ksaya is used as a synonym of rajayakshma and it denotes a state where the disease causes so much debility and immunity is compromised to such extent that secondary infection becomes more severe. While describing the management of ksayaja kasa, Acharya Caraka describes the treatment of discoloration of urine and dysuria as:
+
*''Pathya'' or recommended diet:  Light to digest food like ''shali'' rice, wheat, green gram, pomegranate, dry grapes, mango, ''amalaka'', goat milk and ghee prepared of it, medicated milk, meat juice of goat
 +
*''Pathya'' or recommended activity: Total bed rest
 +
*''Apathya'' or contraindicated diet: Excess hot, pungent, salty food causing burning sensation, heavy to digest food.
 +
*''Apathya'' or contraindicated activity: Over exertion, strenuous exercise, weight lifting etc.
   −
Charaka says that if the patient of ksayaja kasa suffers from discoloration of urine or dysuria then he should be given ghrit processed with the decoction of kadamba, vidarikanda and tala.
+
===== Parallel management of chest injury =====
This shows that discoloration of urine (hematuria) is associated with Ksaya or rajayakshma. Genitourinary tuberculosis is the most common cause of painless hematuria.With one-third of the world's population currently harboring latent mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, many modern day texts on nephrology do not discuss genitourinary TB as a serious cause of urological infections and advanced renal disease. Classic TB symptoms are rarely observed in these patients, compounding the difficulty of a diagnosis. Many times treatment of renal TB is delayed due to the vagueness of chronic, intermittent, and nonspecific urinary symptoms. Thus it is clear that the clinical features described for kshina are the features of renal tuberculosis that may appear abruptly (like sudden onset of hematuria in a patient of renal tuberculosis requiring prompt management).
  −
Now let us try to understand the meaning of second word- kshata and its significance as a disease.  Kshata means trauma or injury. Sahasajanya rajayakshma cause kshata in the urah(chest) similarly in kshataja kasa also there is urahkshata. Thus there are three places where urahkshata is encountered in Ayurvedic texts namely- sahasajanya rajayakshma, kshataja kasa and kshatakshina. Let us discuss the similarity between these three conditions to draw a conclusion.

Use of ''sandhaniya'' drugs like ''laksha'' (mainly indicated for the healing of fracture of bone) and ''madhuyashti'' clearly indicates that in ''kshatakshina'' there is external trauma (ribs fracture leading to pneumothorax) that should be managed with quick remedies. As only conservative management for the ''kshatakshina'' is described, it excludes the possibility of surgical interventions in ''kshatakshina'' in that era. However nowadays the surgical procedures like tube drainage with or without medical pleurodesis, vacuum-assisted thoracostomy (VATS) with pleurodesis and/or closure of leaks and bullectomy, and open surgical procedures such as thoracotomy for pleurectomy or pleurodesis) are conducted to decrease the chances of incurability of ''kshatakshina''. At the present time, it is necessary to elaborate the management of acute dreaded complications like pneumothorax and hematuria in separate chapter.

From the above table it is obvious that Kasa appears in Kshayaja rajayakshma is elaborated under the heading of Kshataja Kasa. As the Sahasajanya Rajayaskshma is a very serious and emergency condition and managemnt of which is lacking in the chapter of Rajayakshma. its emergency management is described in a separate chapter under the heading of Kshata Kshina. Use of Sandhaniya drugs like laksha (mainly indicated for the healing of fracture of bone) and madhuyashti clearly indicates that in Kshata Kshina there is external trauma (ribs fracture leading to pneumothorax) that should be managed with quick remedies. As Acharya has given only conservative management for the Kshata- Kshina it excludes the possibility of surgical interventions in Kshata-Kshina (tube drainage with or without medical pleurodesis, vacuum-assisted thoracostomy (VATS) with pleurodesis and/or closure of leaks and bullectomy, and open surgical procedures such as thoracotomy for pleurectomy or pleurodesis) at that time. In the chapter of Rajayakshma, the symptomatic treatment is described and therefore it is necessary to elaborate the management of acute dreaded complications like pneumothorax and hematuria in separate chapter.

In the chapter Kshata- kshina that is restore by Acharya Dalhana, it is mentioned that with due regard to the agni (power of digestion), nature of disease, wholesomeness diet and regimens prescribed for rajayakshma, kasa and raktapitta should be used for the management of Kshata- kshina.

Thus it is clear that the management of kshata- kshina should be adjuvant with the management of Rajayakshma for proper treatment or it can be said that Kshata kshina management is applicable in emergency condition with acute manifestations like hemoptysis and hematuria whereas management of Rajayaksma is applicable for chronic stage of disease.

Basically the controversy in accepting Kshata-Kshina as advanced state or complication of Rajayaksma appears because of misinterpretation of following sloka:

#Partridge RA, Coley A, Bowie R, Woolard RH. Sports-related pneumothorax. Ann Emerg Med1997;30:539 – 41.
If the patient suffering from kshata- kshina is not given appropriate treatment on time, then this may lead to rajayakshma. Therefore well before the arrival of this ailment (attack of rajayakshma), the kshata- kshina should be treated, subdued (cured).  
+
#Funk DA, McGanity PL, Hagemeier III KF, Schenck Jr RC. Pneumothorax in high school football. Tex Med 1998;94:72 – 4.
In the above discussion, we see that there is conflict between the statements given in chapter originally written by Acharya Caraka (Ca.Ci. 8/183) and that restored by Acharya Dalhana (Ca. Ci.11/94). In chapter 8th, Acharya says that the treatment given in next chapter is also applicable for Rajayaksma whereas in chapter 11th, Acharya says that the regimens given in the chapter of Rajayaksma should be given to the patient of Kshata- Kshina. Thus it is clear that the management of both the diseases is interrelated but the controversy appears in accepting the sequence of protocol to be followed for the management of diseases. Therefore it can be concluded that Kshata- Kshina is the specific state of Rajayaksma that appears acutely and required prompt treatment. Accepting Kshata- Kshina as a singular disease refers to a cascade of autoimmune reactions that results in a complex syndrome known as Pulmonary- Renal Syndrome. Indulgence in the specific etiological factors provokes the activity of specific autoantibodies pervading the specific loci and destructing the body tissues that ultimately results in dreaded consequences.

For the preparation of the decoction, the eleven drugs mentioned above should be added with eight times of water and reduced to one forth. Thus the quantity of the decoction will be twenty two palas. [This is in accordance with the commentary of Gangadhara. Cakrapani’s commentary in Nirnayasagara edition is different from C.K. Sen & Co. edition. Both of them perhaps, full of textual incongruities]. The quantity of milk should be four times of ghee. According to some scholars, milk should be four times of the quantity of the decoction.

For the preparation of decoction, eight palas of madhuka and one prastha of draksha should be added with four times of water and reduced to one fourth. Thus in total, the quantity of decoction will be one and half prastha. [According to general rule (paribhasha), the total quantity of liquid should be four times of ghee. But if the quantity of decoction is taken according to the above mentioned commentary of Cakrapani, then it will be less than the quantity of ghee. This may, however be treated as an exception to the general rule.]

This medicated ghee is prescribed to be prepared by adding sugar and honey. This will reduce the ghee to the form of a paste and it is suitable only to be used as linctus. This should be given to the patient having aggravated pitta. If sugar and honey are not added to the medicated ghee, then it remains in the liquid form (in warm condition). This liquid form of medicated ghee should be given to the patient having aggravated vayu, to drink. Alternatively, the medicated ghee mixed with the powders, prescribed in verse 54, and made to a paste form, should be used by the patient having aggravated pitta. When it is in a melted state, it should be given to the patient having aggravated vayu.

The term ‘nirunaddhi’, in verse 53, has a different reading as ‘na runaddhi’.

In the verse 54, the ghee is to be made to a paste form by adding the powder tvakksiri, sarkara and laja. The quantity of these powders is not specified. Therefore, these have to be taken in such quantities as are capable of making the ghee into a thick paste form. Vata, udumbara, asvattha, plaksa and kapittha- these are the ksirivrksas (plant having milky latex). According to salakya tantra, udumbara, vata, asvattha, madhuka and plaksa- these five are called ksirivrksas. [Chakrapani’s statement and the reference are at variance in as much as in the place of kapitna, madhuka (madhuka according to C.K.Sen & Co. edition) is used kapitana is generally used as a synonym of other drugs like sirisa and amrataka and not of madhuka. Bhavaprakasa has included parisa (according to some, sirisa or vetaasa) in the place of kapitana.

Thirteen drugs mentioned in the verse no.56 are to be taken (One pala each). To this, eight times of water should be added and reduced to one fourth. Thus the quantity of the decoction will be twenty six palas. To this, fifty two palas of milk and twenty six palas of each of vidari (juice) and goat meat (soup) should be added. Thus, in total, one hundred and thirty palas of liquid should be added to ghee and cooked. According to some scholars, the decoction should be prepared by adding sixteen times of water and reduced to one fourth. Thus, the quantity of the decoction will be fifty two palas. If this is accepted, then the quantity of other liquids should be increased. But for practical purpose, these drugs mentioned in the verse 56, should be made to a decoction in such a way that it become equal to the quantity of ghee.If this is accepted, then the decoction (one part), milk (two parts), the juice of vidari (one part) and the goat meat soup (one part) – these four liquids are to be used in the preparation this medicated ghee in which the ghee and the decoction should be in equal quantities. Alternatively, the juice of vidari and goat-meat soup taken together should be one part. Thus the ghee should be cooked with four parts of liquid in conformity with the general rule. A similar recipe is also described in Jatukarana.

Cow’s milk intended to be used in this recipe, is not for the sake of ‘ghrtapaka’, but for intial preparation (karanataya). It seems that the various ingredients prescribed to be used for this recipe are not required to be mixed up with the prescribed quantity of milk in its intial stage. It is only after cow’s milk is sufficiently boiled and become considerably thick, that various ingredients should be mixed up there with and the process of the cooking of the recipe should be started. Otherwise, if all the ingredients are mixed up with cow’s milk in the very early stage, it may not be possible to have the desired density of the preparation.
