What is "jaundice"?

Jaundice is a condition where the skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow. This happens because of a build-up of bilirubin, a yellow pigment that is made when red blood cells break down. Jaundice can be caused by various conditions, such as liver disease, bile duct blockage, or hemolysis, which is the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. Symptoms may include yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine, pale stools, and itching. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medications, surgery, or other medical procedures to address the issue.
