Jaundice
Jaundice is a medical condition characterized by yellowing of the skin, sclerae (the whites of the eyes), and mucous membranes due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells and is normally processed by the liver and excreted in bile. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for jaundice is essential for proper management and addressing underlying health concerns.
