	<~~div~~ style="text-align:justify;">		<p style="text-align:justify;">''Raktapitta'' is a treatable bleeding disorder, if recognized and managed in early stage. If diagnosis is missed and disease is not managed properly, it becomes life threatening (''mahagada'').It occurs because of excessive aggravation of ''[[pitta]]'' and its affliction with ''[[rakta]]''. Before initiation of treatment, it is important to assess strength of the patient because the treatment regimen is personified for well nourished and emaciated persons. Etiology, classification, prognosis and treatment of ''raktapitta'' have been described in detail. A good number of herbal and animal preparations are given. Further, this chapter enumerates aspects that are favorable or unfavorable to ''raktapitta''. To improve the efficacy of treatment, external beneficial measures, such as ''pradeha, parisheka, sheetasnana'' and habitat are described at the end of chapter. This bleeding disorder is not described in modern medicine writings and appears to be unknown to allopathic medicine.</p>

	There are various bleeding disorders, some of which can be correlated with ''raktapitta''. Bleeding disorders can occur either due to decrease in coagulation factor in blood or due to increase in bleeding factor. When patient has bleeding from anus (''guda'') or vagina(''yoni''), then it is difficult to differentiate whether the disease is ''adhoga raktapitta'' or ''raktarsha'' or ''raktatisara'' or ''pradara''. There are major similarities in causes, signs, ''~~doshas~~'' involved but also minor differences. And that minor differences need to be studied to capture the right link of disease, which can be done only when one has, the deep knowledge of Ayurvedic diagnostic tool i.e. ''nidanpanchaka''. The profound cognizance of ''nidanapanchaka'' as a diagnostic tool can enhance the treatment modalities of Ayurvedic management of diseases in coming years.
