What is Jaundice ?

Jaundice is a medical condition characterized by a yellowish tint to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It occurs when there is a buildup of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells, in the blood. Normally, the liver processes and removes bilirubin, but if the liver is damaged or bile flow is blocked, bilirubin accumulates, leading to jaundice.

Symptoms of Jaundice :

  • Yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes
  • Dark-colored urine
  • Pale or clay-colored stools
  • Itching (pruritus)
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Abdominal pain or swelling
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever (if infection is present)

Causes of Jaundice :

Jaundice occurs when bilirubin builds up in the body due to problems with its production, processing, or elimination. Common causes include:
  • Liver diseases: Hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease
  • Bile duct obstruction: Gallstones, tumors, strictures blocking bile flow
  • Hemolysis: Excessive breakdown of red blood cells
  • Genetic disorders: Such as Gilbert’s syndrome
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Infections: Viral hepatitis or other infections affecting the liver
  • Medications or toxins: That damage the liver or bile ducts

When to Visit a Jaundice Clinic?

You should consult a Jaundice Clinic if you experience:
  • Yellowing of the eyes, skin, or tongue
  • Dark-colored urine or pale stools
  • Persistent fatigue, weakness, or loss of appetite
  • Abdominal pain, bloating, or swelling
  • Unexplained weight loss or persistent itching
  • Sudden onset of jaundice with fever, vomiting, or confusion
  • History of liver disease, hepatitis, or heavy alcohol use

Diagnosis of Jaundice at the Clinic

At a Jaundice Clinic, doctors use advanced tests and evaluations to find the exact cause of jaundice and assess liver function. The diagnosis usually includes:
  • Blood tests (LFTs, viral markers, CBC) to check liver function and infections.
  • Imaging tests like ultrasound, CT/MRI, or Fibroscan to detect liver damage, stones, or blockages.
  • Endoscopic tests (ERCP, EUS) for bile duct or pancreatic problems.
  • Liver biopsy in select cases for detailed evaluation.

Treatment Options for Jaundice

  • Medications – To treat infections (like hepatitis), reduce liver inflammation, or manage complications.
  • Endoscopic Procedures (ERCP, stenting) – To remove gallstones or relieve bile duct blockages.
  • Surgery – In cases of tumors, strictures, or severe obstruction.
  • Hospital Care – For acute liver failure, severe infections, or advanced cirrhosis.
  • Liver Transplant Evaluation – For patients with end-stage liver disease when other treatments are not effective.
