OVERVIEW
Jaundice occurs when excess bilirubin builds up in the liver, causing the skin and whites of the eyes to develop a yellowish tint. Bilirubin is produced when hemoglobin from red blood cells is broken down by the body.
JAUNDICE CAUSES
Jaundice may be caused by several different disease processes. It is helpful to understand the different causes of jaundice by identifying the problems that disrupt the normal bilirubin metabolism and/or excretion.
Medical Treatment
Treatment varies based on the medical condition responsible for causing jaundice, and the associated symptoms and complications. Treatments may include the following:
- supportive care,
- IV fluids in cases of dehydration,
- medications for nausea/vomiting and pain,
- antibiotics,
- antiviral medications,
- blood transfusions,
- steroids,
- chemotherapy/radiation therapy, and
- phototherapy
