Jaundice

The only cure for jaundice is to let the liver heal. No drugs, especially no alcohol.

Reduce proteins to about 2.5 oz per day. Don't over eat. Rest.

The liver handles the disposal and cleaning of bilirubinfrom the system. Bilirubin is a bile pigment -- yellow/brown -- that occurs as a natural result of the degradation of heme. When liver failure occurs, either chronically or temporarily, bilrubin is not disposed of, and eventually results in jaundice. also known as icterus (attributive adjective: "icteric"), is a yellowish discoloration of thealso known as icterus(attributive adjective: "icteric"), is a yellowish discoloration of the skin , sclarae (whites of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood). This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluids. Typically, the concentration of bilirubin in the plasma must exceed 1.5 mg/dL[1], three times the usual value of approximately 0.5mg/dL[1], for the coloration to be easily visible. Jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow.

In jaundice there is depostion of billirubin and bile salts in the skin, the billirubin gives the yellow color and the salts is the reason of pruritis.

Extremely. Jaundice is first noticed in the lingual frenulum (the little connecting strip you see is you lift your tongue up that connects it to the bottom of your mouth), then it is noticed in the eyes.

It is characterized by a yellowing of the skin and the above mentioned areas due to shutdown of the liver. When the liver ceases functioning properly a substance called bilirubin is no longer processed into conjugated bilirubin, and the buildup of bilirubin is what causes this yellowing effect.

If you notice this, HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER TAKE YOU OR GET TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY. This is life-threatening and WILL BE FATAL if not taken care of immediately. YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LIVER.

Liver failure can be caused by not only alcohol abuse, but also overdose (over 4000mg taken at once) of Tylenol (acetaminophen) which is the most common component of prescription medications and is used as a filling agent due to it's inert (lack of) reaction with medications. Many variables can contribute to liver failure, but alcohol and OTC overdose or the 2 most common causes as far as I am aware (disregarding diseases which effect the liver).

It is believed drinking water mixed with the hair of a red bull will help treat jaundice. With this it is believed that the yellow of the jaundice will be transferred to the red of the animals. This is followed by the patient being swabbed with yellow paste and being ceremonially bathed while three red birds were tied to the bed to absorb the poisonous yellow.

Yes, one can pass a drug test for methamphetamine if that individual has not been using methamphetamine (or related substances, depending on the type of test).

However, if a person has been using this drug, whether or not they will pass the test depends of the frequency/amount of use and the time since the last use. Having a liver disorder can possibly change the pharmacokinetics/metabolism, and thus affect the necessary abstinence time needed to achieve a negative test result. However, there is very little research relevant to the subject, and thus giving an exact result is impossible.

Jaundice is a sign of a malfunctioning liver. It cannot be purged; the liver problem must be dealt with. The two most common causes of liver disease are drinking alcohol and hepatitis. People with liver problems should not drink alcohol at all. It can eventually lead to need for a liver transplant to avoid death.

Gallstones can cause pancreatitis. It is statistically one of the most common causes of pancreatitis.

Gallstones are usually formed in the gallbladder (in some conditions, they may arise directly in hepatic bile ducts, but this is an uncommon occurrence related to bile duct pathology or prior cholecystectomy). One or more may be expelled into the cystic duct, and from there to the choledochal duct, which joins the main pancreatic duct (Wirsung's duct) to pass through the ampulla of Vater into the greater papilla into the second part of the duodenum. The gallstone may obstruct passage at any of these points, resulting in different clinical presentations, ranging from biliary colic to pancreatitis.

Treating jaundice at home primarily involves ensuring adequate hydration and maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables. It's important to avoid alcohol and fatty foods, which can strain the liver. Sunlight exposure may help, as it can assist in breaking down bilirubin, but always consult a healthcare professional before trying any home remedies. If jaundice persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

Jaundice, characterized by yellowing of the eyes and skin, can indicate liver dysfunction but does not specifically mean you have hepatitis. It occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin in the blood, which can result from various conditions, including hepatitis, gallstones, or liver disease. A proper diagnosis requires medical evaluation and testing to determine the underlying cause of the jaundice.

u cause jaundice since the microorganisms in ur body spread to another person.

Stop being so yellow and just drink it

Yes, dental problems can potentially contribute to jaundice, although it's not a common cause. Severe dental infections or abscesses can lead to systemic infections, which may affect liver function and result in jaundice. Additionally, certain medications used to treat dental issues could impact liver health. However, jaundice is primarily associated with liver diseases, bile duct obstructions, and hemolysis.
