Jaundice

Understanding Jaundice

Jaundice is a condition that causes the skin and the eyes to turn yellow. This happens because of an excess of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. While jaundice itself is not a disease, it is a sign of underlying diseases, particularly related to the liver, gallbladder,Bile ducts or pancreas.

Common Causes of Jaundice

 

  • Liver Conditions: Diseases like hepatitis, NASH, liver cirrhosis can impair the liver’s ability to process bilirubin, leading to jaundice.
  • Gallbladder and bile ducts Problems: Stones can block the bile ducts, causing a stasis and reflux of bilirubin in the liver and blood.
  • Pancreatic Issues: Conditions such as pancreatic cancer can obstruct the flow of bilirubin in the bile ducts.
  • Blood Disorders: Rapid breakdown of red blood cells due to conditions like hemolytic anemia can increase bilirubin levels.

Symptoms of Jaundice

 

  • Yellowing of the skin and eyes
  • Dark-colored urine
  • Pale stools (Acholic)
  • Itching
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
