→Types of kamala
''Bahupitta kamala'' or ''Kostha-shakhasrita kamala'' mostly resembles the pre-hepatic and hepatocellular jaundice. Pre-hepatic jaundice is caused by anything which causes haemolysis. Pre-hepatic cause include severe malaria, certain genetic diseases such as sickle cell anemia, spherocytosis, thalassemia, pyruvate kinase deficiency and glucose 6-phospate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which lead to increased destruction of red cells and therefore hemolytic jaundice. Hepato-cellular Jaundice can be caused by acute or chronic hepatitis, hepatotoxicity, cirrhosis, drug induced hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease.

==== ''Halimaka'' ====
''Halimaka'' is a further stage of ''pandu''. Reduced oxygen carrying capacity of blood (reduced ''jeevan karma'') causes depletion of strength and work capacity. This further leads to lack of libido and bodyache. Condition resembles cholestasis. Bile stasis and back pressure leads to liver failure which leads to the further symptoms of ''halimaka'' or sclerosing cholangitis. It is characterized by severe fatigue (''bala utsaha hani''), jaundice (''harita pita meda''), dark urine, cirrhosis, portal hypertension and hepato-megaly.
