What is Jaundice?

Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown, and its accumulation occurs when the liver cannot process or excrete it efficiently.

Symptoms of Jaundice

Jaundice may present with the following symptoms:

❯

Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
❯

Dark-colored urine.
❯

Pale or clay-colored stools.
❯

Fatigue and weakness.
❯

Abdominal pain or discomfort, particularly in the upper right quadrant.
❯

Nausea and vomiting.
❯

Itchy skin (pruritus).

If you notice these symptoms, consult a jaundice specialist in Bilaspur for evaluation and treatment.

Causes of Jaundice

Jaundice is often a symptom of an underlying condition rather than a disease itself. Common causes include:

Pre-Hepatic Causes (Before the Liver):

Excessive breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis), seen in conditions like hemolytic anemia.

Hepatic Causes (Within the Liver):

Hepatitis: Viral or autoimmune inflammation of the liver.
Liver Cirrhosis: Scarring of the liver impairing its function.
Alcoholic Liver Disease: Long-term alcohol abuse damaging liver cells.
Fatty Liver Disease: Non-alcoholic or alcoholic.

Post-Hepatic Causes (After the Liver):

Gallstones: Blocking the bile ducts.
Bile Duct Strictures or Tumors: Obstructing bile flow.
Pancreatic Disorders: Such as pancreatic cancer.

Complications of Untreated Jaundice

Ignoring jaundice can lead to severe health complications, including:

➤

Chronic liver damage or failure.
➤

Infections due to bile duct blockages.
➤

Malabsorption of nutrients.
➤

Increased risk of liver cancer.
