Icterus, commonly known as jaundice, is primarily caused by an accumulation of bilirubin in the bloodstream, leading to a yellowing of the skin and eyes. This condition can result from various factors, including liver diseases (such as hepatitis or cirrhosis), hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells), or bile duct obstructions. In newborns, physiological jaundice can occur due to immature liver function. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.
