Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of jaundice is approximately 40,000 per 100,000 individuals of intensive care unit patients.[1]
Race
- Neonatal jaundice is more common among Asian and mixed Asian/white infants than white infants.[2].
- The prevalence of cirrhosis is higher in:[3]
- Non-Hispanic blacks
- Mexican Americans
- Hispanics with hepatitis C infection
Age
- Hepatocellular jaundice mainly from viral hepatitis commonly affects young patients.[4]
- Cholestatic jaundice mainly from liver cancer, hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis commonly affects older patients.[4]
- Cirrhosis is infrequently seen in young adults.
- The incidence of cirrhosis increases with age; the median age at diagnosis of cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease is 52 years.[5]
Gender
- Male are more commonly affected by hepatocellular jaundice and liver cancer than female.[4]
- Female are more commonly affected by hemolytic jaundice mainly from cholangiocarcinoma than male.[4]
