What is jaundice

First of all: jaundice is a common symptom and sign, its occurrence is due to bilirubin metabolism disorder, which causes the increase of serum bilirubin concentration.

Secondly: in clinical practice, jaundice appears in people's body, which is usually dyed yellow at the site of the disease. Because sclera contains more elastin and has strong affinity with bilirubin, scleral jaundice in patients with jaundice is often detected first before mucosa and skin.

Finally: when the serum total bilirubin is 17.1-34.2 μ mol / L, and jaundice can not be seen by naked eyes, it is called recessive jaundice or subclinical jaundice. When the concentration of blood total bilirubin exceeds 34.2 μ mol / L, jaundice can be found clinically, also known as dominant jaundice.
