The type and the severity of complications depends on the underlying cause leading to jaundice. Certain individuals may not suffer any long-term complications and recovers fully, while for others the appearance of jaundice may be the first indication of a life-threatening situation.  
Natural history of jaundice varies greatly and symptoms can manifest at any age of life depending on the underlying cause. The type and the severity of complications depends on the underlying cause leading to jaundice. Certain individuals may not suffer any long-term complications and recovers fully, while for others the appearance of jaundice may be the first indication of a life-threatening situation.

==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==
* The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
* The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
* If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].


=== Natural History ===
*Jaundice may develop as early as [[neonatal]] period to any decade of life depending on the underlying cause, and presents as yellowish discoloration of skin and [[sclera]].<ref name="pmid204973612">{{cite journal| author=Gundur NM, Kumar P, Sundaram V, Thapa BR, Narang A| title=Natural history and predictive risk factors of prolonged unconjugated jaundice in the newborn. | journal=Pediatr Int | year= 2010 | volume= 52 | issue= 5 | pages= 769-72 | pmid=20497361 | doi=10.1111/j.1442-200X.2010.03170.x | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=20497361  }}</ref>
*Typically, [[jaundice]] is not evident clinically until serum [[bilirubin]] level reaches 2.5 mg/dL. It is first seen in the [[conjunctiva]] or oral [[Mucous membrane|mucous membranes]] such as the [[hard palate]] or under the [[tongue]]. As the serum concentration of [[bilirubin]] rises, [[jaundice]] proceeds cephalo-caudally.

Overview

Natural history of jaundice varies greatly and symptoms can manifest at any age of life depending on the underlying cause. The type and the severity of complications depends on the underlying cause leading to jaundice. Certain individuals may not suffer any long-term complications and recovers fully, while for others the appearance of jaundice may be the first indication of a life-threatening situation.

Natural History

Complications

Common complications of jaundice include:[6]

Prognosis

  • The prognosis for individuals with jaundice varies with the underlying cause of the condition.
  • There are certain conditions that has the most favorable prognosis leading to full recovery.
  • However, more serious causes of jaundice like acute suppurative cholangitis or fulminant hepatic failure can sometimes be fatal despite medical or surgical intervention. The mortality can be as high as 80% .[7]
  • The development and severity of complications as well as patient's underlying health and comorbidities have a huge impact on the prognosis of patients.
