Overview
When red blood cells die, the heme in their haemoglobin is converted to bilirubin in the spleen and in the hepatocytes in the liver. The bilirubin is processed by the liver, enters bile and is eventually excreted through feces.
Consequently, there are three different classes of causes for jaundice. Pre-hepatic or hemolytic causes, where too many red blood cells are broken down, hepatic causes where the processing of bilirubin in the liver does not function correctly, and post-hepatic or extrahepatic causes, where the removal of bile is disturbed.
Common Causes
- Hepatitis
- Neonatal physiological jaundice
- Gallstones
- Gilbert's syndrome
- Thalassemia
- Sickle-cell disease
- Hemolytic anemia
- Cirrhosis
- Cancer
