From the Guidelines
Jaundice, or hyperbilirubinemia, is primarily caused by a variety of clinical disorders, including bilirubin overproduction, impaired bilirubin conjugation, biliary obstruction, and hepatic inflammation 1. The causes of jaundice can be categorized into several key areas, including:
- Bilirubin overproduction, which can occur due to hemolysis or other conditions
- Impaired bilirubin conjugation, which can be caused by liver disease or other factors
- Biliary obstruction, which can be caused by gallstones, tumors, or other blockages
- Hepatic inflammation, which can be caused by infections, autoimmune disorders, or other conditions In the United States, the most common causes of jaundice fall into four categories: hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, blockage of the common bile duct by a gallstone or tumor, and toxic reaction to a drug or medicinal herb 1. It's worth noting that the most common etiology of jaundice can vary by geography, type of hospital, and demographics, with studies from different regions showing different dominant causes of jaundice 1. Clinically, differentiating between the various potential etiologies of jaundice requires a detailed history, targeted physical examination, and pertinent laboratory studies, such as a hepatic profile, conjugated versus unconjugated bilirubinemia, and complete blood count 1.
