Jaundice

Jaundice, characterized by a yellowish tint to the skin and eyes, is a condition caused by an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream.

At Sainath Diagnostics Centre, we offer thorough evaluation and management for jaundice to pinpoint its underlying causes, which may include liver disease, gallstones, or other health conditions.

Using advanced diagnostic tools and a team of experts, we ensure accurate diagnosis and effective, personalized treatment plans.

Whether you’re seeking clarity on your symptoms or looking for a tailored treatment approach, our goal is to support you in achieving optimal health and well-being.

Definition: Jaundice is a medical condition where the skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow due to elevated levels of bilirubin, a substance produced from the breakdown of red blood cells. This yellowing occurs when the liver cannot process bilirubin efficiently.
Symptoms: Common symptoms include yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark or tea-colored urine, and pale or clay-colored stools. You might also experience itching or discomfort.

Liver Conditions: Jaundice can be caused by liver diseases such as hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), cirrhosis (scarring of the liver tissue), or liver infections, which impair the liver’s ability to process bilirubin.
Gallbladder Issues: Conditions like gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder can obstruct bile ducts, leading to a buildup of bilirubin in the bloodstream.
Blood Disorders: Hemolytic anemia, a condition where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be produced, can increase bilirubin levels and cause jaundice.

Blood Tests: Comprehensive blood tests are conducted to measure bilirubin levels and assess liver function. These tests help determine the severity of jaundice and the potential underlying causes.
Imaging: Non-invasive imaging techniques such as ultrasound or CT scans provide detailed views of the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts, helping to identify any obstructions or abnormalities.
Liver Biopsy: In specific cases, a liver biopsy may be performed to obtain a small sample of liver tissue for examination. This helps in diagnosing liver diseases and determining their extent.

Medication: Treatment may include medications to manage underlying conditions, reduce bilirubin levels, or alleviate symptoms. Specific treatments are tailored to address the root cause of jaundice.
Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including dietary adjustments and avoiding alcohol, can support liver function and overall health. Recommendations are personalized based on the cause of jaundice.
Surgical Interventions: For cases involving gallstones or other structural issues, surgical procedures might be necessary. Our team will discuss the best options and provide comprehensive care throughout the process.

Regular Check-Ups: Routine medical check-ups and monitoring of liver health are crucial for early detection and management of conditions that may lead to jaundice.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a balanced diet rich in nutrients, staying hydrated, and avoiding substances harmful to the liver can prevent and manage jaundice effectively.
