Can jaundice be cured?
Jaundice it not a disease disease per se, rather it is a symptom that indicates the level of the bile pigment called Bilirubin has overshot its normal value of 0.6 to 1.2 mg/decileter. The level of bilirubin in blood can rise due to a variety of conditions. In neonates (newborn infants) the jaundice is due to breakdown of blood (hemolysis). In adults it may be due to obstruction of the common bile duct--obstructive jaundice, or due to liver infections--such as Hepatitis A, B or C. Hepatitis A is caused by contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and other body fluids. Whether or not jaundice can be cured depends upon the underlying cause. Neonatal jaundice is usually self correcting, responding very well to phototherapy. Jaundice in adults due to an obstruction is relieved once the obstruction is removed. When caused by infectious hepatitis, it depends on whether or not the underlying infection is curable. Generally there is no known cure of the hepatitis B and C, though these respond to treatment which affect the symptom.
