Overview

Common risk factors in the development of jaundice are classified under conjugated and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The most common risk factors for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia includes neonatal period, drugs like rifampin and probenecid, syndromes like Gilbert and Crigler-Najjar syndrome types I and II, steroids and chronic liver diseases. The most common risk factors for conjugated hyperbilirubinemia includes viral hepatitis, alcohol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, drugs, and toxins (eg, alkylated steroids, chlorpromazine, herbal medications, arsenic), sepsis and hypoperfusion states, infiltrative diseases (eg, amyloidosis, lymphoma, sarcoidosis, and tuberculosis), pregnancy, cirrhosis, choledocholithiasis, intrinsic and extrinsic tumors of biliary tracts, primary sclerosing cholangitis, acute and chronic pancreatitis.
