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./li>
- 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.
