14 Μαρ 2024 · Jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) is when your skin, sclera (whites of your eyes) and mucous membranes turn yellow. Jaundice occurs when your liver is unable to process bilirubin (a yellow substance made when red blood cells break down) in your blood.
Objectives: Upon completion of this article, the reader will be able to identify the pathophysiology of hyperbilirubinemia, its etiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic approach to assess and manage a patient with jaundice.
6 Νοε 2019 · Neonatal jaundice is a clinical manifestation of elevated total serum bilirubin (TSB), termed neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, which results from bilirubin that is deposited into an infant's skin.

12 Σεπ 2023 · Jaundice and asymptomatic hyperbilirubinemia are common clinical problems that can be caused by a variety of disorders, including bilirubin overproduction, impaired bilirubin conjugation, biliary obstruction, and hepatic inflammation.
2 Δεκ 2017 · Jaundice is caused by an increase in serum bilirubin levels, largely as a result of breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin is conveyed in the blood as 'unconjugated' bilirubin, largely bound to albumin. The liver converts bilirubin into a conjugated form which is excreted in the bile.
