Abstract
Jaundice refers to yellowing of conjunctive, skin and mucous membranes; this is due to deposition of pigment bilirubin in the tissues. In healthy adults the normal concentration of serum bilirubin is less than 1-1.5 mg / dL, and will be visible when concentrations exceed 3 mg / dL. In the history of the jaundiced patient it is important to identify the data of biliary obstruction or liver disease. Treatment will be aimed at treating the cause of hyperbilirubinemia in non-obstructive jaundice, treat the underlying cause (autoimmune, viral, drugs) in obstructive jaundice treatment focuses on relieving the obstruction.
