What our doctors say about Jaundice

Frequently Asked Questions

Is jaundice a disease?
Jaundice is a visible sign of increased bilirubin. It may occur due to conditions affecting the liver, bile ducts or red blood cells.
How is the cause of jaundice diagnosed?
Evaluation may include blood tests, liver-function tests and imaging such as ultrasound, CT or MRI. Additional procedures may be advised based on the findings.
Does every jaundice patient need ERCP?
No. ERCP is considered only when certain bile duct or pancreatic duct conditions are suspected or identified.
Can gallstones cause jaundice?
Yes. Gallstones may block the bile duct and cause bilirubin to build up. Treatment depends on the location and severity of the blockage.
Does every jaundice patient need hospitalisation?
Not always. The need for hospitalisation depends on the cause, symptoms, test results and overall health condition.
