Jaundice is a symptom of other underlying conditions, rather than a disease in itself, and as such it is not contagious. Jaundice develops when bilirubin levels in the blood rise, resulting in yellowing of the skin, whites of the eyes, and bodily fluids. Bilirubin is formed after the red blood cells are broken down and is then excreted from the body in the bile.
The liver processes the bilirubin before it is excreted and as such diseases of the liver result in jaundice. Conditions of the blood and spleen may also sometimes cause jaundice. You should be aware that jaundice is an infection and is caused by a virus. The liver of the patient is affected by this virus. As a result the liver becomes tender and swollen.
