Jaundice is caused by an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream, which can occur when the liver is unable to process bilirubin efficiently. This can result from various underlying conditions, including liver diseases (like hepatitis or cirrhosis), bile duct obstructions, or hemolytic anemia, where red blood cells break down too quickly. Symptoms include yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine, and pale stools. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition are essential to manage jaundice effectively.
