What Causes Jaundice
Jaundice Causes
Jaundice in itself is not a disease but a sign occurring as a result of many other diseases. Jaundice is a condition wherein blood in a patient contains high levels of the chemical bilirubin and this in turn causes yellowish staining of the skin and in the whites of the eyes.
Jaundice is associated with a number of other diseases which can be identified as the cause of jaundice in a person. Neonatal jaundice is very common in newborn babies as a result of high level of red blood cells and inability to process bilirubin as the liver is not yet developed.
