Ayurvedic Perspective of Evans Syndrome

Evans syndrome is a Raktapitta disorder which means the responsible factors of this disorder are Rakta dosha (as per Sushruta) and Pitta dosha. Basically, Pitta acts as a vitiating factor that later leads to vitiation of the other two doshas in our body which are in Saptadhatus (especially the Rasa and Rakta dhatu).

Causes of Evans Syndrome

Evans syndrome is an auto-immune disorder and its exact cause is yet to be discovered but some factors may be responsible, which affect our digestive fire (Agni), the essence of all the dhatus (Ojas) and immunity, leading to the development of this disease in our body.

These factors can be –

Hereditary Factors (Vanshaj Karana) :

This disease can be due to heredity.

Environmental Factors :

Dietary Factors (Aahar Karana) :

 Excessive consumption of oily, spicy, sour and fermented food like – Junk foods, bakery products, etc.

Diagnosis of Evans Syndrome

It is a diagnosis of exclusion which means that a diagnosis is made with Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia in association with an abnormal immune response. Some tests can be done to differentiate it with other auto-immune disorders, having similar signs and symptoms –
