Jaundice
What is Jaundice?
Jaundice is a condition where the skin and eyes turn yellow due to increased levels of bilirubin in the blood. It is not a disease itself but a sign of an underlying problem related to the liver, bile ducts, or blood.
With timely diagnosis and proper treatment, jaundice can be effectively managed. Identifying the exact cause early is important to prevent complications and ensure proper recovery.
If you notice yellowing of the eyes or skin, early evaluation can help detect the cause and start the right treatment.
