Causes of pruritus in jaundice?
Pruritus is a symptom associated with a type of jaundice called obstructive jaundice. Jaundice is caused by too much bilirubin in the blood, which is a breakdown product of red blood cells. Normally the liver takes bilirubin, changes it a little, and squirts it into the intestines along with bile. When there is a blockage so that bilirubin in liver cells never makes it to the intestines, this is called obstructive jaundice. The pathogenesis of pruritus in cholestasis (one of the causes of jaundice) is unknown but several hypotheses have been proposed, including bile acid accumulation and increased opioidergic tone.
What is the difference between hemolytic jaundice and obstuctive jaundice?
Oh, dude, hemolytic jaundice is when your red blood cells break down too fast, causing an increase in bilirubin levels, while obstructive jaundice is when there's a blockage in the bile ducts, preventing bilirubin from being excreted properly. So, like, one's a speed demon with red blood cells and the other's a traffic jam in your bile highway. Just remember, both can make your skin turn yellow, so it's like your body's own little highlighter party.
Why the patients having jaundice experience stomach pain?
Jaundice is caused by a build up of bilirubin, that in itself is not thought to be painful but the underlying cause of the jaundice - biliary cirrhosis, pancreatitis, coagulopathy, renal and liver failure are all possible sources of pain and need to be further investigated. Obstructive jaundice, is caused by an interruption to the drainage of bile in the biliary system - this type of jaundice causes pain from an inflammation or blockage in a duct or organ. Jaundice and pain are symptoms of the underlying disease and needs to be treated as such.
