Jaundice Jaundice, a medical condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, is usually caused by an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells and is normally processed by the liver. When the liver cannot metabolize or excrete bilirubin efficiently, it accumulates, causing jaundice. This condition can be a symptom of various underlying problems, such as liver disease, hepatitis, or bile duct obstruction. Jaundice is often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, and dark urine. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to address the underlying cause and effectively manage jaundice.
