Hence an  attempt can be made to observe the status of Agnibala and Koshta with particular  reference to different inflammatory markers present in subjects of AamvataMaterial and Method: The main goal of the study was to evaluate the Agnibala and Koshtha of the Amavata Patients and to determine the relationship between  Agni and Koshtha with the inflammatory parameters of Rheumatoid Arthritis as the  characteristics of Amavata are similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis. The aims and  Objectives of the study include the Assessment of Koshtha using a self-developed  Standard Proforma for Koshtha Assessment (KAQ). Agnibala, using a standard  proforma developed by Singh A et al., 2016. Amavata patients were encouraged  to undertake Haematological examinations along with Investigations of  Inflammatory markers of Rheumatoid arthritis and their reports were collected and  analysed for additional statistical analysis. BHU's CCI lab and other standard  laboratories were used for the research. The data were then statistically analysed.  Results and Conclusion: According to the Agni Bala assessment from this study,  it can be said that Mandagni is the main causative factor for the development of  Amavata.
