Conditions Associated with Jaundice
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Conditions associated with jaundice are those that can cause a yellowish color in the skin and in the whites of the eyes, due to the buildup of bilirubin, a substance the body processes mainly through the liver.
How it presents: in addition to the yellowish tone, there may be dark urine, lighter stools, itchy skin, or fatigue, depending on the underlying cause.
Common causes: jaundice may be related to problems of the liver, of the gallbladder and bile ducts, or of the blood, so its origin is varied.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist usually guides the study, with support from the internist and, in children, the pediatrician. If you notice a yellowish tone in the skin or eyes, the prudent thing is to consult a professional who can identify the underlying cause.
