Hepato-protective Effect of an Ayurvedic Formulation Prak-20 in CCl 4 Induced Toxicity in Rats: Results of Three Studies
Prak-20, an ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation, was studied for its hepato-protective effects in rats. It showed no significant liver damage or elevated enzyme levels compared to controls. In higher doses, it reduced liver enzymes by up to 54% and minimized liver damage. These results suggest Prak-20 is effective in protecting the liver, with further research needed on its mechanism.
Demographic Pattern of Pancreatitis Patients in India – A Hospital-based Study
A hospital-based study on 2,050 pancreatitis patients across India found that 83% were male, with an average age of 24 years, and 75% aged between 19–45. Alcohol use was reported by 33.6% and tobacco by 18.4%, while genetic and gallstone-related causes accounted for 8.8% and 5% respectively. The findings suggest emerging lifestyle and regional risk factors, but broader studies are needed for definitive insights.

Significant Reduction of Carbohydrate 19-9 Antigen Levels in a Patient of Acute on Chronic Pancreatitis through Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol
A 52-year-old male with recurrent acute necrotizing pancreatitis showed poor response to conventional treatment, leading to weight loss and high CA 19-9 levels. Ayurvedic therapy, including herbal formulations, a balanced diet, and rest, normalized his CA 19-9 levels within 108 days, highlighting its potential for further study.
Clinical Intervention of Ayurvedic Treatment in the Patients of Recurrent Acute/Chronic Pancreatitis
The study of 1233 acute pancreatitis patients found that 12.9% experienced oral feeding intolerance (OFI). Risk factors included younger age, male sex, alcohol use, smoking, non-biliary etiology, and SIRS at 48h. SIRS at 48h (OR 2.85) and non-biliary etiology (OR 1.77) were independently linked to OFI, with biliary etiology being protective.
