What is Jaundice?

Jaundice is the yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. It is caused by a build-up of a substance called Bilirubin.In many cases, yellowness in the white part of the eyes is more obvious than in the skin. Jaundice in newborn babies is common as their livers take time to get working properly.




There are three types of jaundice that affects adults are:



Hemolytic jaundice





Hepatocellular jaundice and





Obstructive jaundice







Common Causes of Jaundice

The red blood cells after a period of 4 months time becomes fragile and becomes a yellow like chemical called Bilirubin. The body usually removes bilirubin from the bloodstream by passing it though the liver and to the kidneys for disposal. The liver, which plays a vital role in removing the bilirubin from the body, may not be able to do so for some reasons, where the bilirubin gets accumulated and causes jaundice.
