Question
The doctor diagnosed me with jaundice. What are the symptoms of jaundice?
Answer
The clinical manifestations of jaundice typically include yellowing of the eyes and skin, which is caused by internal abnormalities, particularly issues with the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, or pancreas. For example, cholangitis is a major clinical symptom of jaundice that does not resolve on its own and is considered pathological jaundice. Unlike physiological jaundice in newborns, which can resolve naturally, if you experience symptoms of jaundice, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
