Jaundice is not a disease but rather a sign that can occur in many different diseases. Jaundice is the yellowish staining of the skin and sclerae (the whites of the eyes) that is caused by high levels in blood of the chemical bilirubin.

Causes:

Jaundice may be caused by several different disease processes. It is helpful to understand the different causes of jaundice by identifying the problems that disrupt the normal bilirubin metabolism and/or excretion.

Pre-hepatic (before bile is made in the liver)

Jaundice in these cases is caused by rapid increase in the breakdown and destruction of the red blood cells (hemolysis), overwhelming the liver’s ability to adequately remove the increased levels of bilirubin from the blood.

Examples of conditions with increased breakdown of red blood cells include:

• Malaria,
• Sickle cell crisis,
• Spherocytosis,
• Thalassemia,
• Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD),
• Drugs or other toxins, and
• Autoimmune disorders.

Symptoms:

• Yellow coloration of the eyes, skin, tongue and urine.
• Loss of appetite.
• Dull pain in the liver region.
• Nausea, severe constipation, extreme weakness.
• Fever, headache and undue fatigue.

Diagnosis:

Treatment depends on the cause of the underlying condition leading to jaundice and any potential complications related to it. Once a diagnosis is made, treatment can then be directed to address that particular condition, and it may or may not require hospitalization.

• Treatment may consist of expectant management (watchful waiting) at home with rest.
• Medical treatment with intravenous fluids, medications, antibiotics, or blood transfusions may be required.
• If a drug/toxin is the cause, these must be discontinued.
• In certain cases of newborn jaundice, exposing the baby to special colored lights (phototherapy) or exchange blood transfusions may be required to decrease elevated bilirubin levels.
• Surgical treatment may be required.

Ingredients:

1. Bael tree leaves.
2. Pepper.

Natural Remedies: 

• Bael leaves are an important constituent of a number of anti-diabetic medicines. Its leaf extract has been used in ayurveda as a medicine for diabetes.
