jaundice

1.What is jaundice: Jaundice is not a disease. It is just a symptom of another disease, especially liver disease. Jaundice occurs when the level of bilirubin in the blood increases. The skin and eyes of the body look yellow. The main reason for this is the increase in the amount of yellow pigment called bilirubin in the body. If the concentration of bilirubin in the blood is 1.2 mg / dL or less, if it is 3 mg / dL or more, then jaundice occurs. Every day at least 1% of old red blood cells are replaced Red blood cells are transferred. The old red blood cells in our body always produce bilirubin, which is usually excreted from our body through the bowel. If for some reason this bilirubin cannot be excreted from the body then jaundice is due to this excess bilirubin.
