==Causes==
==[[Jaundice causes|Causes]]==
When  [[red blood cell]]s die, the [[heme]] in their [[haemoglobin]] is converted to [[bilirubin]] in the [[spleen]] and in the hepatocytes in the liver. The [[bilirubin]] is processed by the [[liver]], enters [[bile]] and is eventually excreted through [[feces]].


Consequently, there are three different classes of causes for jaundice. ''Pre-hepatic'' or ''hemolytic'' causes, where too many red blood cells are broken down, ''hepatic'' causes where the processing of [[bilirubin]] in the liver does not function correctly, and ''post-hepatic'' or ''extrahepatic'' causes, where the removal of bile is disturbed.

== Diagnosis ==
==[[Jaundice screening|Screening]]==
===History and symptoms ===
Jaundice typically appears in a 'top to bottom' progression (starting with the face, progressing toward the feet), and resolves in a 'bottom to top' manner.  It was once believed persons suffering from the medical condition jaundice saw everything as yellow, but this is not true. By extension, the jaundiced eye came to mean a prejudiced view, usually rather negative or critical. [[Alexander Pope]], in 'An Essay on Criticism' (1711), wrote: "All seems infected that the infected spy, As all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye." <ref name=eye>From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).</ref>


The caregiver should ask questions regarding
==[[Jaundice natural history|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
* Alcohol/hepatotoxic medication use


'''Various Symptoms'''
==Diagnosis==
* '''Alcohol Hepatitis'''

*:* [[Ddx:Nausea and Vomiting|Nausea]]
*:* [[Ddx:Pruritis|Pruritis]]
*:* [[Abdominal pain|Right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain]]
*:* [[Nausea and Vomiting]]


===Physical Examination===
== Treatment ==
* Complete physical exam including evidence of:

*:* [[Ddx:Hepatomegaly|Hepatomegaly]]
*:* [[Ddx:Splenomegaly|Splenomegaly]]
*:* Palpable gallbladder
*:* Signs of chronic liver disease
'''Appearance of the Patient'''
'''Skin'''
* Jaundice is visible in conjunctiva, skin and mucosa when the serum bilirubin level rises above 2 mg/dL
'''Eyes'''
* Jaundice is usually best seen in the periphery of the ocular conjunctivae
'''Abdomen'''
* Hepatomegaly may be present
'''Neurologic'''
* A flap may be present
 
===Lab tests===
* Total and unconjugated bilirubin
** Bilirubin is the major breakdown product of hemoglobin that is released from dying or damaged erythrocytes
** The normal bilirubin range is 0.3-1.0 mg/dL
* Aspartate aminotransferase
* Alanine aminotransferase
* Albumin
* Alkaline phosphatase
* HIV serologies
* Hepatitis serologies
* Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
* Antimitochondrial antibodies
* Haptoglobin
* Reticulocyte count
* Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)
 
=== MRI and CT ===
* Abdominal CT scan may be helpful
=== Echocardiography or Ultrasound ===
* Abdominal ultrasound
=== Other Diagnostic Studies ===
* Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP)


== Treatment ==
==Case Studies==
* Discontinue (and avoid) use of hepatotoxic medications
* Rehydrate
* Treat underlying etiologies
=== Acute Pharmacotherapies ===
* Steroids
===Surgery and Device Based Therapy===
* Cholecystectomy or ERCP
