Jaundice & Recurrent Jaundice

Jaundice is a condition characterized by the yellowing of the skin and eyes due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. It can be a sign of an underlying liver condition or bile duct obstruction. At Emirates Hospitals, we specialize in diagnosing and treating jaundice and recurrent jaundice effectively.

Causes of Jaundice

Jaundice can result from various conditions, including liver diseases like hepatitis, bile duct obstruction, or hemolytic disorders. Recurrent jaundice may indicate chronic liver conditions or autoimmune diseases affecting the liver.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Jaundice

Diagnosing jaundice involves blood tests, liver function tests, and imaging studies to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the root cause:

• Medications: For liver diseases such as hepatitis or autoimmune conditions, medications may be prescribed to manage inflammation or viral infections.
• Surgical Interventions: In cases of bile duct obstruction, surgical procedures may be required to restore normal bile flow.
