Jaundice, also known as hyperbilirubinemia,[1] is a yellow discoloration of the body tissue resulting from the accumulation of an excess of bilirubin. Deposition of bilirubin happens only when there is an excess of bilirubin, a sign of increased production or impaired excretion. The normal serum levels of bilirubin are less than 1mg/dl; however, the clinical presentation of jaundice as scleral ...

A Systematic Approach to Patients with Jaundice
A stepwise approach to evaluation can be cost and time saving as well as a framework to improve patient outcomes. In this review, we will outline a diagnostic approach to jaundice, beginning with pathophysiology of cholestasis followed by hyperbilirubinemia and markers of synthetic dysfunction. Keywords: cholestasis; hyperbilirubinemia; jaundice.

Introduction. The term 'jaundice' is used to describe the yellow-orange discoloration of the skin and sclera because of excessive bilirubin in the skin and mucous membranes. 1,2 Jaundice itself is not a disease but rather a symptom or sign of a disease. Bilirubin is mainly formed when the haem component of red blood cells are broken down in the spleen to biliverdin and then unconjugated ...

Jaundice present as yellow discolouration of the skin and sclera in infants, indicating a raised serum bilirubin level leading to accumulation of bilirubin in the tissues, including the skin and mucous membranes. Jaundice is thought to be visible at bilirubin levels of around 90 mmol/litre in babies with pale skin tones.

Jaundice
Jaundice occurs due to an imbalance between bilirubin production and its clearance. Understanding the pathophysiology of jaundice is crucial to evaluate a patient with jaundice (Figure 1).Approximately 80% of bilirubin is produced from breakdown of senescent red blood cells (RBC) by reticuloendothelial (RE) cells in the spleen and liver when they reach the end of their life span of ...

Knowledge Level and Determinants of Neonatal Jaundice: A Cross
1. Background. Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a common condition worldwide occurring in up to 60% of term and 80% of preterm newborns in the first week of life [1, 2].Newborns show clinical signs which tend to start on the head and face and then spread down the trunk and limbs as a result of high serum levels of bilirubin.
Neonatal Jaundice Management: Improving Clinical Knowledge of Jaundice
Introduction. Neonatal jaundice is a common pediatric condition that refers to the yellowish coloration of the skin, sclera of the eye, and other organs of the body caused by the accumulation of bilirubin (American Academy of Pediatrics et al., 2004; Huang et al., 2022).It affects nearly 50% to 60% of full-term babies and 80% of premature babies develop jaundice within the first week ...

Deep Learning Approach for Early Diagnosis of Jaundice
1 Background. Jaundice, also known as hyperbilirubinemia, is a yellow discoloration of the body mainly detected in the sclera, skin, and mucus membranes due to increased bilirubin level in the serum. Bilirubin is a byproduct of expired red blood cells breakdown, which metabolizes further in the liver for excretion from the body.

Introduction. Jaundice is when clinically there is an increase in the amount of bilirubin in the serum rising above 85mmol/l (5mg/dl). When in utero, unconjugated bilirubin is cleared in the placenta to pro-duce cord serum bilirubin of approximately 35mmol/L (2mg/ dl).

Jaundice
Jaundice is the yellow color of skin and mucous membranes due to accumulation of bile pigments in blood and their deposition in body tissues. Jaundice should be distinguished from cholestasis, which refers to a decreased rate of bile flow. Depending on the clinical situation, jaundice and cholestasis may coexist or each may exist without the other. Although many sources confidently say that ...
