Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. It can be caused by various factors, including liver disease, hemolytic disorders, or bile duct obstruction. Symptoms may include yellow skin, fatigue, abdominal pain, and dark urine. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or in severe cases, medical procedures such as surgery. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent complications.
