Jaundice

Understanding Jaundice

Jaundice is a condition characterized by the yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes due to an excess of bilirubin in the blood. It can be a sign of an underlying liver, gallbladder, or blood disorder. Whether it’s due to an infection, liver disease, or blockage of the bile duct, Subhadra Hospital provides specialized care to diagnose the cause and offer effective treatment.

Common causes of jaundice include:

  • Liver diseases like hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease

  • Blockages in bile ducts (such as gallstones or tumors)

  • Hemolysis (excessive breakdown of red blood cells)

  • Genetic conditions (e.g., Gilbert’s syndrome)

  • Infections, such as viral hepatitis or malaria
