Jaundice

* If it is caused by anemia you might have to start taking iron tablets. * If it is caused by hepatitis you might need to start taking tablets, but not all types of hepatitis can be treated. * If it is caused by taking particular drugs, your doctor might prescribe an alternative. * If it is caused by an obstruction such as a gallstone or a tumour, you may need to have surgery. * If the liver is severely damaged, the damage cannot be reversed. If you stop drinking alcohol this will increase your chances of survival. You may be considered for a liver transplant if the damage is very severe.

Jaundice is a symptom of liver failure. It doesn't happen often, but it is possible for teens to die from liver failure. So jaundice must be taken seriously.

Surgical is due to obstructions and all others r medical eg hemolysis

Jaundice isn't that dangerous, and you can easily wait for the test results to come through(unless he turns bad in any other way). The only thing the ER would do right now is to take the same test, and then have you wait again.

well, you see.. jaundice is caused by the elevation of UNCONJUGATED bilirubin level in our blood.. a high level of unconjugated bilirubin in blood will enter our body tissue and make our skin looks yellow.

bilirubin is metabolized in the liver, thus making the unconjugated bilirubin changed into conjugated one. and these conjugated bilirubin will be excreted to our intestine and it will give color to our urine an feces.


in patients with choledocolithiasis, there is an obstruction caused by the gallstone inside the duct where conjugated bilirubin should be excreted.. this obstruction makes the liver unable to metabolize the unconjugated bilirubin, and so the level of unconjugated bilirubin will rise, having effect of jaundice.

yes, obstructive jaundice.

In fact jaundice is a water borne disease and not infectious. The other family member,drinking the same water,might not contact jaundice due to body resistance power. But once contacted, the patient should take boiled water and other precautions as prescribed by the doctor, as the whole digestive system gets damaged and it takes atleast six months for full recovery.

Jaundice is a symptom, not a disease. It comes from bile that overflows into the blood, causing a yellowish tinge.

the answer is no

l00% of jaundice patients can be fully cured if they are diagnosed early and are kept under proper medication. However, diet chart has to be maintained for at least 6 months, avoiding oily and rich foods, as lever function system gets damaged in jaundice and requires respite for gradual recovery.

A person that old jaundice can be given just about anything they want to eat. Food does not effect jaundice.

Yellow jaundice is not a disease but rather a sign that can occur in many different diseases. Jaundice is the yellowish staining of the skin and sclerae (the whites of the eyes) that is caused by high levels in blood of the chemical bilirubin. The color of the skin and sclerae vary depending on the level of bilirubin. When the bilirubin level is mildly elevated, they are yellowish. When the bilirubin level is high, they tend to be brown. White jaundice: old term for chlorosis

It is for 6-120 hours

Jaundice is a condition that can occur in severe cases of Pancreatitis. Most often, jaundice occurs in patients who have contracted pancreatitis due to alcohol abuse.

Jaundice is symptom of a liver disease or a problem with red blood cells breaking down too fast, e.g. with malaria. Jaundice is seen on the skin and mucosal surfaces, which are colored with various shades of yellow (the shade depends on the type of bilirubin present in the blood, and can indicate to the clinician where the problem lies.)

i do no

yes. infact it is advised to do so.

Jaundice is a symptom, often the result of liver failure and a buildup of bilirubin -- a red-yellow salt, in which the skin and sclera appear yellowed. This symptom has been observed for thousands of years.

if its caused by hepatitis virus then it is like infection so it is transmitted,but if it is caused by liver failure then it is not transmitted

no. raw rice has got nothing to do with liver and jaundice is caused when the liver is unable to excrete bilirubin from the system.

Yes, jaundice can be a symptom of aplastic anemia, although it's not one of the most common manifestations. Aplastic anemia leads to a decrease in red blood cells, which can result in anemia and potentially cause jaundice due to the breakdown of red blood cells and the subsequent release of bilirubin. However, jaundice is more typically associated with liver disorders or hemolytic anemia. Therefore, while it can occur, it is important to consider other underlying causes of jaundice.
