Jaundice

Excess riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, a common ingredient in almost all multi-vitamins, will turn your urine bright yellow. Also other dietary factors will do this.

Bright/light coloured urine is not usually an indication of kidney or bladder problems, dark or cloudy urine are more likely to be an indication of kidney or bladder problems. If you are worried see a doctor

Phototherapy is treatment with light. It is used in some cases of newborn jaundice to lower the bilirubin levels in your baby's blood through a process called photo-oxidation. Photo-oxidation adds oxygen to the bilirubin so it dissolves easily in wate

This question doesn't make sense? Jaundice affects the skin and the sclera (white part) of the eyes. Body system? Jaundice is caused by an excess of billirubin in the blood, due to the liver or an obstruction in the billiary tract.

Jaundice (a build up of waste product known as bilirubin from the break breakdown and removal of iron from haemoglobin in blood cells) indicates that the person suffering from the condition has an underlying medical condition.

There are three main types of jaundice which are divided into groups based on their underlying causes. Information on these (taken from the UK NHS website) is summarised below:

1. Hepatocellular jaundice

This occurs when bilirubin remains within the liver, rather than travelling to the kidneys for removal from the body. This can be caused by liver failure, liver disease (cirrhosis), hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) or by taking certain medication. This is the most common type of jaundice.

2. Haemolytic jaundice

This occurs when an excess of bilirubin is produced due to the break down of a large number of red blood cells. This may be due to anaemia or a problem with metabolism and a number of other conditions.

3. Obstructive jaundice

This occurs when the bile duct becomes blocked preventing bilirubin from leaving the liver. This is usually caused by gallstones, a cyst or a tumour of the bile duct or pancreas.

Jaundice means yellowing. The skin is yellow. Even the whites of the eyes are yellow. These are both seen in jaundice. This is due to high bilirubin levels from liver diseaseand cancer of the liver. Gall stones can block the gall ducts and also cause this.

The location and severity of abdominal pain and the presence or absence of fever help the doctor to distinguish between hepatic and obstructive jaundice.

After some basic and quick research, it is actually said that a high glucose diet is preferable during Jaundice (although you should stay away from artificial, refined sugars). Thus said, fruits and vegetables are your best bet and of course, sugarcane juice is excellent for you.

Outcome depends on the cause. As the underlying condition improves, the jaundice will usually disappear. Individuals with jaundice secondary to cirrhosis may develop kidney (chronic renal) or liver failure. Individuals with jaundice secondary to acute viral hepatitis may develop chronic active hepatitis.

Hepatitis A

Icterus is yellow coloration of sclera - (the white part of eye that you see). This is present in jaundice.

People with Malaria often have Jaundice because the destruction of the red blood cells that Malaria cause's can cause Jaundice.

the presence of gallstones in the ducts of the biliary system. Other causes have to do with birth defects and infections that damage the bile ducts; drugs; infections; cancers; and physical injury.

No, Jaundice is a yellow color of the skin caused by certain diseases. Some of these diseases are viral. For example, jaundice can be a symptom of Hepatitis A, a disease of the liver which is caused by a virus and which is infectious (it can be transmitted from person to person).

It depends on the type of thalassemia. Some forms have minimal signs and symptoms. But others can certainly cause jaundice. Beta-thalassemia major affects how red blood cells develop. Those that actually do make it into the blood stream bear "inclusion bodies" that are detected by the spleen. The spleen destroys these red blood cells, releasing cell content, including bilirubin. Because red blood cells are getting destroyed, the body tries to make more and more, and the spleen keeps destroying them. The body can't clear the bilirubin which presents as jaundice.

In cases of jaundice, it's important to follow a diet that is easy to digest and low in fat. Besan dhokla, made from gram flour, is generally light and nutritious, but it can be spicy or contain ingredients that may not be suitable during jaundice. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized dietary advice, as individual conditions may vary.

http://www.pets.ca/encyclopedia/jaundice_cat.htm The prognosis for most cats depends on which diseases are causing the jaundice. Some diseases can be reversed completely while others will be fatal. Cats' skin tissues may remain yellow for some time after the hyperbilirubinemia has been corrected. There are various treatments for jaundice, all of which depend on the symptoms and the cause. Some diseases that cause jaundice, such as inoperable cancer, are irreversible and result in death. However, other diseases, such as feline fatty liver syndrome, in which fat gets deposited into the liver tissue, can be managed quite effectively. Cats with life-threatening anemia will need a blood transfusion. Most animals with jaundice will require hospitalization initially. Intravenous fluid administration, cage rest to encourage the liver to heal, and appropriate nutritional support may be needed. The veterinarian will prescribe medications to manage symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, excessive abdominal fluid, and neurological problems; these medications must be carefully monitored, however, since the liver metabolizes many drugs. Follow-up visits with blood and urine re-evaluations will be needed to determine the success of the treatment.

Yes. In very dark skinned individuals jaundice will not be as obvious on the skin. In such cases one must visualize the mucous membranes, palate, and/or the sclera

Liver failure (typically "Acute Liver Failure"), and Pancreatic Cancer causes Jaundice, a Yellowing of the skin or of the whites of the eyes more correctly called conjunctival icterus.

Itching, yellow-tinged skin, if not cured, can cause death.

Jaundice is a descriptive term for yellow skin. Your skin won't turn yellow from kissing someone. If the cause of their jaundice is an infectious diease, you may contract it from kissing. The viral hepatitis infections are not spread by kissing.
