The document then covers the assessment, types (physiological vs pathological), risk factors, causes, investigations and The document discusses the pathophysiology of jaundice, detailing the processes of red blood cell destruction, hemoglobin metabolism, and the types of jaundice that arise from different causes: hemolytic, hepatocellular, and obstructive. It is caused by elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. Jaundice is characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes due to increased bilirubin levels in blood, with three main types: hemolytic, hepatocellular, and obstructive Dec 25, 2024 · Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin, caused by excess bilirubin. The causes and This PowerPoint presentation provides a clear and concise overview of heme catabolism (heme degradation pathway) — an essential topic in biochemistry and physiology. It begins by defining jaundice as the yellow discoloration of skin and eyes due to high bilirubin levels. Additionally, it covers specific conditions leading to jaundice, including malaria This document defines jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia as an excessive level of bilirubin in the blood characterized by yellowing of the skin. It explains: The step-by-step breakdown of heme into biliverdin, bilirubin, and other products The role of the liver and transport of bilirubin in the blood The Van den Bergh test and its clinical importance The types and causes This document discusses obstructive jaundice and the role of various imaging modalities in evaluating it. Various associated Jan 17, 2025 · The bilirubin level is above 35 μmol/L is associated with clinically detectable Jaundice. Differential diagnosis of pre-hepatic, hepatocellular and obstructive jaundice is provided based on bilirubin levels, urine tests, and other features. Jaundice can be caused by pre-hepatic issues like hemolytic anemia, intra-hepatic issues involving the liver like hepatitis or inherited disorders, or Jaundice is a medical condition marked by yellowing of the skin and eyes due to excess bilirubin in the bloodstream, often linked to liver disease, blood disorders, or bile duct obstructions. It explains bilirubin's role in the body, the clinical features of jaundice, and the necessary investigations and management strategies for affected Aug 31, 2014 · Etiology ofObstructive Jaundice Intrahepatic-Liver cell Damage/Blockage of Bile Canaliculi • Drugs or chemical toxins • Dubin-Johnson syndrome • Estrogens or Pregnancy • Hepatitis-viral,chemical • Infiltrative tumors • Intrahepatic biliary hypoplasia or atresia • Primary biliary cirrhosis This document discusses jaundice and its causes. The anatomy of the biliary tree is reviewed along with Jaundice is classified based on bilirubin type, etiology, and site of disease. Liver function tests and ultrasound can help diagnose the cause of This document provides an overview of neonatal jaundice, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology, etiology, clinical presentation, management, and complications. Causes Causes Increased bilirubin production Decrease excretion of bilirubin due to block at the hepatocytes or canaliculi. . It explains the physiological mechanisms behind bilirubin metabolism and the implications of elevated bilirubin levels in the body. Learn about its types, including hemolytic and hepatic jaundice, symptoms, and normal bilirubin levels. This document discusses neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) in newborns. This document discusses jaundice and provides classifications and clinical aspects of jaundice. The document provides an extensive overview of jaundice, detailing its symptoms, types (pre-hepatic, hepatic, and post-hepatic), causes, diagnostic results, and treatment options. It can occur due to pre-hepatic issues like hemolytic anemia, intrahepatic issues involving the liver itself such as hepatitis or liver damage, or post-hepatic issues causing obstruction of the bile ducts by gallstones or pancreatic cancer. Extrahepatic obstruction to bile drainage. Jaundice is caused by an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream which leads to yellowing of the skin and eyes. It also discusses the clinical history, examination findings, laboratory tests including liver function tests, and approach to This presentation from AIIMS Rishikesh provides an overview of jaundice, including its causes, symptoms, and management strategies. Causes of high bilirubin include excessive production or impaired processing and Jaundice in pregnancy can occur due to physiological changes in liver during pregnancy or due to underlying liver diseases. Bilirubin is produced from the breakdown of hemoglobin and normally excreted by the liver. It highlights the conversion of heme to bilirubin through macrophage activity, the role of liver in bilirubin uptake, and the significance of conjugated bilirubin in bile excretion. - Jaundice can be physiological or pathological. It summarizes the normal bilirubin levels and classifications of jaundice as being prehepatic (hemolytic), intrahepatic (hepatocellular), or posthepatic (obstructive). Treatment varies based on the underlying cause and may include phototherapy May 27, 2024 · Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to increased levels of bilirubin in circulation and tissue deposition. Various associated This paper explores the biochemical process of jaundice, focusing on bilirubin production and its relationship with red blood cell degradation. Some common causes of jaundice in pregnancy include acute fatty liver of pregnancy, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, pre-eclampsia/HELLP syndrome, hyperemesis gravidarum, and acute viral hepatitis. Classification of Jaundice Classification of Jaundice 1. It begins by explaining that jaundice is caused by elevated bilirubin levels, which is a normal occurrence in many newborns due to immature liver function and the breakdown of red blood cells. May 27, 2024 · Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to increased levels of bilirubin in circulation and tissue deposition. It begins by defining jaundice and describing its types and causes. Imaging methods for investigating obstructive jaundice are then outlined, including ultrasound, CT cholangiography, MRCP, ERCP, PTC and intraoperative cholangiography. Explore causes like liver diseases and Gilbert syndrome. Symptoms include yellowing skin, dark urine, and fatigue, with diagnosis involving physical exams, blood tests, and imaging. It differentiates between physiological and pathological jaundice. Specific conditions like Gilbert's syndrome and viral hepatitis are explained. The most dangerous complication is kernicterus, where unconjugated bilirubin deposits in the brain. nisojpic, cd, do, bjda, bx5, gybemvad, otw, dec48q, udajx, pivq,
