Jaundice Isn't Just a Color — It's a Warning

Jaundice is a condition that causes a yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, due to an excess of bilirubin — a yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells.

Liver diseases

Liver diseases damage a vital organ, affecting digestion, detoxification, and metabolism — seek early diagnosis.

Hemolysis

Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia, fatigue, and potential complications

Bile duct obstruction

Bile duct obstruction blocks bile flow, causing jaundice, pain, and liver damage—prompt treatment is essential.

Genetic disorders

Genetic disorders are inherited conditions caused by DNA mutations, affecting health, development.

What Is Jaundice?

Jaundice is a medical condition where the skin, whites of the eyes, and mucous membranes turn yellow due to a build-up of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment formed when red blood cells break down.

Jaundice Process

Yellowing Eyes, Hidden Danger

Jaundice occurs when there is a buildup of bilirubin, a yellow pigment, in the body. This pigment is produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Normally, the liver processes bilirubin, making it water-soluble so it can be excreted in stool and urine. However, when there’s a problem at any stage—such as too much bilirubin being produced, the liver is damaged, or the bile ducts are blocked—bilirubin accumulates in the blood. This leads to the yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, which is the main sign of jaundice.

Red Blood Cells Break Down

Old or damaged red blood cells are broken down in the spleen.

Consultation & Scheduling

Liver Processes Bilirubin

The liver takes in the unconjugated bilirubin.

Day of the Procedure

Bilirubin Enters the Bloodstream

This unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin travels in the blood to the liver.

Bowel Preparation

Bilirubin is Excreted

Conjugated bilirubin is released into bile and enters the digestive system.

Jaundice is usually a sign of an underlying condition and can be caused by:

Liver diseases (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis)
Gallbladder or bile duct obstruction
Hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells)
Newborn immaturity of the liver (common in newborns)
Genetic disorders (e.g., Gilbert’s syndrome)

Yellowing of skin and eyes
Dark-colored urine
Pale or clay-colored stools
Itching
Fatigue
Abdominal pain (in some cases)
