Overview
Physical Examination
- Jaundice is seen with a number of disorders. Physical examination of patients with jaundice is based on underlying disease.
Appearance of the Patient
Vital Signs
- Fever, tachycardia, hypotension, tachypnea may be present in viral hepatitis.[1]
- Weight loss, anorexia, muscle atrophy, ascite may be present in cirrhosis.[2]
Skin
- Jaundice is visible in conjunctiva, skin and mucosa when the serum bilirubin level rises above 2 mg/dL.
- Jaundice, palmar erythema, spider angiomata, gynecomastia may be present in viral hepatitis. [1]
- Pallor, bruises, palmar erythema on the thenar and hypothenar eminences, spider angiomata, telangiectasias may be present in cirrhosis.[3]
- Bullous pemphigoid, cicatricial pemphigoid, migratory superficial thrombophlebitis (classic Trousseau's syndrome), pancreatic panniculitis may be present in pancreatic cancer.[4]
HEENT
- Thinning of hair on the scalp due to hyperestrogenism, parotid gland enlargement, fetor hepaticus may be present in cirrhosis. [5]
Neck
- Cervical lymphadenopathy may be present in viral hepatitis.[1]
- Signs of metastatic disease include:
- Left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy (Virchow's node)
- Palpable periumbilical mass (Sister Mary Joseph's node)
- Metastatic palpable mass in the rectal pouch (Blumer's shelf)
- Involvement of other nodes in the cervical area
may be present in pancreatic cancer.
Lungs
Heart
Abdomen
- Hepatomegaly with right upper quadrant tenderness, abdominal distention, abdominal tenderness, splenomegaly, ascites, caput medusae may be present in viral hepatitis. [1]
- Abdominal distension, caput medusa, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, ascites may be present in cirrhosis. [5]
- Abdominal distention, abdominal tenderness, hepatosplenomegaly, fluid thrill and dullness to percussion may be present due to ascites in pancreatic cancer. [6]
Back
Genitourinary
- Testicular atrophy may be present in cirrhosis.[4]
- Metastatic palpable mass may be present in the rectal pouch.(Blumer's shelf) in advanced stages of pancreatic cancer.[7]
Neurologic
- Altered mental status, encephalopathy may be present in viral hepatitis.[1]
- Alteration of mental status , confusion, coma, asterixis may be present in hepatic encephalopathy.[8]
Extremities
- Peripheral edema, dupuytren's contracture may be present in viral hepatitis.[1]
