Specialist in Liver and Gastrointestinal Care, Vamsi Gastro & Liver Care

Jaundice is a medical condition where the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes develop a yellowish tint due to elevated levels of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells.

It is not a disease but a symptom of underlying health issues, primarily related to liver or bile duct function.

Jaundice occurs due to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, which can result from various underlying causes.

Excess bilirubin production, often caused by conditions like hemolysis (rapid breakdown of red blood cells), leads to its accumulation. Liver dysfunction, seen in diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver, impairs the liver's ability to process bilirubin efficiently.

Bile duct obstruction, caused by blockages like gallstones, tumours, or pancreatic issues, prevents bilirubin from being excreted, resulting in its buildup.

In newborns, jaundice is common due to immature liver function and typically resolves without treatment. Additionally, factors such as infections, alcohol-related liver damage, or autoimmune conditions can contribute to jaundice.

The symptoms of jaundice primarily include yellowing of the skin and eyes, which is often the most noticeable sign. Other symptoms may include dark urine and pale stools, indicative of bile flow issues. In more severe cases, individuals may experience fatigue, fever, or abdominal pain, pointing to underlying complications requiring medical attention.
