Jaundice-Should "yellow" be a red code?

Objective: Jaundice is the clinical manifestation, of hyperbilirubinemia. It is considered as a sign of either a liver disease or, less often, of a hemolytic disorder. It can be divided into obstructive and non obstructive type, involving increase of indirect (non-conjugated) bilirubin or increase of direct (conjugated) bilirubin, respectively, but it can be also manifested as mixed type. Methods: This article updates the current knoweledge concerning the jaundice's etiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, and complications ant treatment by reviewing of the latest medical literature. It also presents an approach of jaundice's treatment and pathogenesis, in special populations as in neonates and pregnant women. Results: The treatment is consistent in the management of the subjective diseases responsible for the jaundice and its complications.The clinical prognosis of the jaundice depends on the etiology. Surgical treatment of jaundiced patients is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Studies have shown that the severity of jaundice and the presence of malignant disease are importan risk factors for post-operative mortality. Conclusions: Early detection of jaundice is of vital importance because of its involvement in malignancy or in other benign conditions requiring immediate treatment in order to avoid further complications.
