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.

According to webmd.com, "Jaundice is not an illness, but a medical condition in which too much bilirubin - a compound produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin from red blood cells - is circulating in the blood. The excess bilirubin causes the skin, eyes and the mucus membranes in the mouth to turn a yellowish color. Jaundice is common in newborn babies and will usually clear up without treatment. However, for adults the symptoms of jaundice may indicate damage to the liver. If the cause is not treated, it can lead to liver failure." Further information about jaundice may be found at: http://children.webmd.com/digestive-diseases-jaundice === === Jaundice is the body's disability to clean the blood of liver toxins and will turn the skin and the whites of the eyes, the sclera, a yellow color.
