Causes Of And Categories Of Jaundice
Jaundice falls into three categories:
Prehepatic:Prehepatic jaundice is usually caused by accelerated hemolysis or heme pigment degradation.
Hepatocellular: Also referred to as hepatic jaundice, this condition is brought on by cirrhosis, hepatotoxicity, chronic hepatitis, and alcohol-related
liver illness and viral hepatitis, B,C,E.Cell necrosis causes the liver to lose its capacity to process and eliminate bilirubin.
Posthepatic: Also known as obstructive jaundice, this condition is typically brought on by liver flukes, pancreatic cancer, and gallstones that restrict the flow of bile.
Diagnosis Of Jaundice
Jaundice is diagnosed by asking about the patient’s symptoms, inquiring about the medical history, and by examination of the abdomen. Urine and blood tests enable the doctor to evaluate the condition of the liver and determine the bilirubin level. Ultrasound abdomen, CT scan, and MRI scan may be necessary to rule out obstructive jaundice.
Treatement Of Jaundice
The treatment of jaundice depends upon the underlying cause. Usually, prehepatic and hepatic causes of jaundice are treated by medicines and obstructive jaundice is treated with endoscopy and surgical interventions. Generally, patients are advised to take adequate rest maintain good hydration, and regular follow-up with the doctor.
