Jaundice, जिसे हिंदी में पीलिया भी कहते हैं, is a condition where the skin, eyes, and urine turn yellow due to a buildup of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment released when red blood cells break down. When the liver is unable to process it properly, it accumulates in the body. Jaundice is not a disease in itself but a sign of an underlying condition that needs timely medical attention.
Pre-hepatic Jaundice occurs due to excessive breakdown of red blood cells before the liver processes bilirubin. Hepatic Jaundice is caused by liver conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver, or cirrhosis that impair liver function. Post-hepatic Jaundice occurs when bile ducts are blocked, preventing bilirubin from being excreted — यह पित्त नली में रुकावट के कारण होता है।
Diagnosing jaundice correctly is the first and most important step. Blood tests, liver function tests, ultrasound, and in some cases endoscopic evaluation are used to identify the root cause. Treatment depends entirely on the underlying condition — whether it is a viral infection, liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or another factor. A targeted and evidence-based treatment plan is then followed to restore liver health and overall wellbeing.
