Aggravated ''pitta'' predominant ''dosha'' vitiates the ''dhatu''. This vitiation of ''dhatus'' cause sluggishnesss (''shithilata'') and heaviness (''gaurava'') in the ''dhatu'' resulting in diminution of complexion (''varna''), strength (''bala''), unctuousness (''sneha'') and the qualities of ''ojas''. Thus, the person develops diminished blood (''rakta'') and the fatty tissue (''medas'') and absence of the vitality of all the tissues (''nihsara'') decreases functional status of sense organs (''sithilendriyah'') and discoloration of the body. ''Hetu'' (etiological factors and pathogenesis) and the sign and symptoms of the disease will be explained hereafter [4-6]

On developing ''pandu roga'' the patients have the symptoms of tinnitus, low digestion, weakness, prostration, disliking for food, fatigue, giddiness, pain in the body, fever, dyspnea, heaviness and anorexia. The patient feels as if the limbs are being kneaded, pressed or churned; develops peri-orbital swelling, greenish complexion and falling of body hair. The person loses his body luster, becomes irritable, dislikes cold things, feels sleepy, spits in excess, avoids speaking, suffers from cramps in the calf region and experiences excessive fatigue as well as pain and weakness in the lumbar region, thighs and feet specifically by exertion while climbing [13-16]

Indulging in ''vata'' increasing diet and regimens aggravates ''vata'' leading to ''vatika pandu roga''. The skin of the patient becomes blackish dawn colored and ununctuous. Its other symptoms are malaise, ache, pricking pain, tremor, pain in both the sides of the chest, headache; dried feces, distaste in the mouth; swelling, gaseous distention of the abdomen and weakness [17-18]

''Pitta'' gets aggravated by indulging in ''pitta'' vitiating ''nidanas'' (diet and regimens) which by involving the blood etc. causes ''pittaja pandu''. Its symptoms are, change in complexion to yellowish/greenish, fever, burning sensation; morbid thirst and fainting; excessive perspiration and longing for cold things and environment. The person does not relish food, develops pungent taste, disfavors hot and sour things; gets sour eructations associated with burning sensation due to impaired digestion of food; emits foul smell from mouth; the urine and stool become yellow in color, has loose motions and develops weakness and fainting [19-22]

Aggravated ''kapha'' by indulging in ''kapha'' increasing diet and regimen gives rise to ''kaphaja pandu roga'' through the pathogenesis described earlier. The sign and symptom of ''kaphaja pandu'' are heaviness, drowsiness, vomiting, whitish complexion, salivation, horripilation, prostration, fainting, giddiness, mental fatigue, dyspnea, cough, laziness, anorexia, obstruction in speech and voice, whitish coloration of the eyes, urine and feces; longing for pungent, ununctuous and hot things; and develops edema and sweet taste in the mouth [23-25]

Indulging in the etiological factors of all the three types of ''pandu'' leads to aggravation of the three ''dosha'' resulting in ''tridoshaja pandu'' with the features of all the three types of ''pandu roga''. This type of ''pandu'' causes much distress to the patient [26]

Person indulging in the habitual consumption of clay (''mrittika'') gets dośhā aggravated according to the taste of mud viz. astringent mud aggravates ''vata'', saline and alkaline mud aggravates ''pitta'' and sweet mud aggravates ''kapha dosha''. The clay further because of its ununctuousness causes dryness in the ''rasa'' (nutrients of the digested food). The clay due to its undigestable nature fills and blocks the channels of circulation leading to decrease in the sharpness of the senses, luster, energy and ''ojas'' (vital essence of the tissues). This quickly manifesting ''pandu'' results in the loss of strength, complexion and digestive power. Its clinical features are edema of the cheeks, peri orbital edema and edema on the eyebrows area, feet, umbilical region and the pudendum; infestation of worms in the ''koshtha'' (gastrointestinal tract) and loose motions, the stool associated with blood and mucus [27-30]

If a patient of ''pandu roga'' excessively follows pitta vitiating diet and regimen, the ''pitta'' so aggravated by involving the ''rakta'' and the ''mamsa'' causes ''kamala''. Its clinical features are the eyes, skin, nails and face of the patient become exceedingly yellow; stool and urine become reddish-yellow in color; complexion develops a color similar to that of a frog (found in rainy season); the senses get impaired; has burning sensation, indigestion, weakness, prostration and anorexia. This ''kamala'' is caused by excess of ''pitta'' is known as ''koshthashakhashrita'' [34-36]
