Abstract

Examination plays an important role in diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Since Samhita Kala various methods of examination is explained like Dwividha Pareeksha, Trividha Pareeksha, Dashavidha Pareeksha, Ashtasthana Pareeksha and Dwadasa Pareeksha. In Samhita Kala Mutra Pareeksha was carried out by Pratyaksha (inspection) and Anumana (inference). Hence, from ancient period great attention is given to examine various attributes of urine in order to understand course of disease. Ashta Sthana Pareeksha incorporated by Yogaratnakara represents clinical assessment as well as laboratory investigations of medieval period. Among the Ashta Sthana Pareeksha, Mutra Pareeksha is one which proves to be an important aid in diagnosis as well as assessing prognosis of a disease. Taila Bindu Pareeksha developed in the medieval period is a method of the Mutra Pareeksha utilised in assessing prognosis of diseases. Hence an attempt is made to understand both diagnostic and prognostic importance of Mutra Pareeksha in various diseases as explained in Ayurvedic literature. In this regard references of Mutra Pareeksha are gathered from Bruhatrayi, Yoga Ratnakara, Bhavaprakasha, Vangasena and Basavarajeeyam to understand diagnostic and prognostic importance of Mutra Pareeksha.
