The liver is a vital organ responsible for detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage. Elevated levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) are biomarkers indicating liver damage. These enzymes are released into the bloodstream when liver cells are injured, often due to conditions such as hepatitis, alcohol abuse, or fatty liver disease. Persistent elevation of SGPT and SGOT levels can signify ongoing liver injury, leading to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure if untreated. Early detection and management of elevated enzyme levels are crucial for preventing severe liver damage and maintaining overall health. In Ayurveda, the liver is a crucial organ, known as "Yakrit," which act as a moola sthana for raktha vaha srotas. It is pivotal in balancing the doshas-Vata, Pitha, and Kapha. Liver disorders are often linked to yakrith vikara with pitha as main dosha which get imbalanced. Virechana, a therapeutic purgation process, is a key treatment in ayurveda for pitta vitiation or pitta kapha samsrushta dosha. It involves the use of purgative herbs to cleanse and eliminate toxins from the liver and gastrointestinal tract, restoring doshic balance. Virechana not only detoxifies the liver but also enhances digestion and overall vitality, highlighting its importance in maintaining health. Key words : Virechana, SGOT, SGPT
