Jaundice:

Jaundice occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream, which can result from various underlying conditions such as liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis), obstruction of bile ducts (gallstones, tumors), hemolytic disorders (excessive breakdown of red blood cells), and certain infections.

FAQ's

Jaundice itself is characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes. Other symptoms may include dark urine, pale stools, itching, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The underlying cause of jaundice determines additional symptoms.

Jaundice can result from conditions that either produce too much bilirubin or prevent the liver from effectively metabolizing bilirubin. Common causes include viral hepatitis (hepatitis A, B, C), alcoholic liver disease, gallstones, pancreatic cancer, and certain medications.

Diagnosis involves a physical examination to assess the extent of jaundice, blood tests to measure bilirubin levels and liver function, imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate the liver and bile ducts, and sometimes liver biopsy to determine the underlying cause.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause of jaundice. It may involve managing the underlying condition, such as antiviral medications for viral hepatitis, surgery to remove gallstones, or medications to reduce bilirubin levels and support liver function.
