About jaundice
Jaundice is a yellow colouring of the skin and the whites of the eyes caused by too much bilirubin in the blood. It is a sign of an underlying problem, not a disease in itself: red blood cells breaking down too fast, liver inflammation (hepatitis A, B or E, alcohol, medicines), or a blocked bile flow from gallstones or a growth. Other features include dark urine, pale stools, itching, tiredness, nausea, loss of appetite and pain in the upper right abdomen. Jaundice in a newborn is common and usually settles but should be checked by a paediatrician. Anyone with jaundice should see a doctor for blood tests (including liver function) and an ultrasound to find the cause. Viral hepatitis A and E usually recover with rest, fluids and a light diet; avoid alcohol, unnecessary medicines and unproven herbal remedies that can harm the liver. Go to the hospital for confusion, drowsiness, bleeding, persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain or fever.
