Jaundice also known as icterus,is a disease caused by the yellowing of the skin,sclera(white part of the eye) and also the salivary glands caused by high levels of bilirubin in the human body(or bodies of animals which have red blood cells).Usually the concentration of bilirubin in the blood must exceed 2-3 mg/dL to cause the yellow color that can be seen by the naked eye.
High levels of bilirubin in the blood,can occur in:
• The inflammation or other abnormalities in the liver,which interrupt the process of discharge into the bile
• Blockage of the bile ducts outside the liver by gallstones or tumors
• Solving a large number of red blood cells,as sometimes occurs in newborns who experienced jaundice.
Symptoms of Jaundice:
• Yellow skin and sclera.
• The urine is dark colored.
• Upper abdomen enlarged.
• Weight loss.
Jaundice can be treated with herbal medicine.
