Jaundice is the medical term that describes yellowing of the skin and eyes. Jaundice itself is not a disease but it is a symptom of several possible underlying illnesses. Jaundice forms when there is too much bilirubin in your system. 

Causes of jaundice

Bilirubin is the yellow pigment formed by the breakdown of these old cells. Jaundice occurs when your liver doesn’t metabolize bilirubin the way it’s supposed to. Jaundice is caused due to liver infection, alcohol abuse,liver cancer, cirrhosis, hepatitis, gallstones, pancreatic cancer. Jaundice is also a frequent occurrence in newborns, especially in babies who are born prematurely. An excess of bilirubin may develop in newborns because their livers haven’t fully developed yet.

Some of the symtoms of jaundice

Some symptoms of jaundice are fatigue, vomiting, fever, weight loss, Itchiness, dark urine, pale stools and abdominal pain.

Treating jaundice

The type of treatment your doctor recommends for jaundice depends on the cause of your jaundice. Your doctor will treat the cause of the jaundice, not the symptom itself. Once treatment begins, your yellow skin will likely return to its normal state. Moderate jaundice is typically treated with phototherapy in the hospital or in the home to help remove excess bilirubin.
