Definition

• Yellowing of the skin and eyes
• Jaundice forms when there is too much bilirubin in your system. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is created by the breakdown of dead red blood cells in the liver.

Newborn jaundice

• Newborn jaundice is a common condition that occurs when a baby has a high level of bilirubin in the blood soon after birth.
• Very high levels of bilirubin can put a baby at risk for deafness, cerebral palsy, or other forms of brain damage, so jaundice should be carefully monitored if it occurs after birth.

Breast milk jaundice

• Usually, it doesn't cause any problems and eventually goes away on its own.

Causes of Jaundice

• Alcohol misuse
• Liver cancer
• Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E
• Pancreatic cancer

Symptoms

• Yellow-tinted skin and eyes characterize jaundice. In more severe cases, the whites of your eyes may turn brown or orange. You may also have dark urine and pale stools.
• Some people misdiagnoses themselves when they experience yellow skin. People who have jaundice usually have both yellow- colored skin and yellow eyes

Treatment

• The type of treatment your healthcare provider recommends for jaundice depends on its cause. Your healthcare provider will treat the cause of the jaundice, not the symptom itself. Once treatment begins, your yellow skin will likely return to its normal state
