A CASE OF JAUNDICEDr Manish Chandra Prabhakar

Focus on
Classifying jaundice as hemolytic , hepatocellular or obstructive
Determine the etiology

Jaundice – yellow tissue
Sclera yellow – bilirubin > 3g/dl Urine is tea or cola coloured – conjugated
bilirubin Colour – lemon yellow – hemolytic jaundice orange yellow – hepatocellular jaundice green yellow – obstructive jaundice Stool

4
Yellow but no jaundice
Carotenoderma – healthy with sclera spared
Quinacrine – 4- 37% of the cases Muddy sclera
Florescent light

5
Onset
Developing in matter of hours and deepening rapidly – viral or drug induced hepatitis
Long standing – Mild – hemolytic – family history Deep – obstructive Chronic liver disease – alcoholics

6
Patient has fever
Malaria Leptospirosis – occupational history Viral hepatitis Cholangitis Dengue hemorrhagic fever

7
Pain in abdomen
Sudden onset right upper quadrant colicy pain with chills – choledocholithiasis and ascending cholangitis
Epigastic and back ache – pancreatic cancer
Biliary obstruction but no pain with deterioration in health and decreasing weight – malignant obstruction

Pruritus
Persistent – obstructive jaundice Transient – Viral hepatitis
Unilateral jaundice

Emphasize on
Drug history – Predictable – dose related -
acetaminophen Unpredictable – isoniazide

10
Clues to etiology
Travel / exposure to contaminant food – Hep A / hepatotoxin
Blood transfusion – HCV, HIV, HBV High risk behaviour – sharing needles ,
drug abuse , unsafe sex Alcohol Family history – Hemolytic anemias,
Wilson’s disease

11
Associated features
Chronic liver cell failure – distension of abdomen , anasarca , hemorrhoids, hemetemesis ,
Arthralgia , myalgia , rash – viral hepatitis History of hepatobiliary surgery
Breathlessness – heart failure Vit D and Vit A deficiency
![Page 12: Bedside Approach to Jaundice](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081502/554b6902b4c90564168b4884/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
General physical examination in a patient who has Icterus
Pulse – Tachycardia – fever , heart failure Bradycardia – obstructive jaundice Tachypnea – heart failure , fever Pallor – hemolysis , malignancy , cirrhosis Pallor with knuckle pigmentation –
megaloblastic anemia Lymphadenopathy – Virchow’s and Sister
Mary Joseph’s nodes. Clubbing may be seen in chronic cholestasis.

13
Mental status – hepatic encephalopathy -
hepatocellular jaundice Flapping tremors Fetor hepaticus Skin – Brusing – clotting factor defects Petechiae / purpura –Thrombocytopenia
of cirrhosis

14
Other integumentary manifestation of cirrhosis – spider nevi, palmar erythema, leuconychia, alopecia
Scratch marks, hyper pigmentation, xanthomas on eyelids, extensor surface and palmar creases - Chronic cholestasis
Pigmentation of shin and ulcers – sickle cell disease

Multiple venous thrombosis – carcinoma of body of pancreas
Ankle edema – cirrhosis or IVC obstruction due to hepatic malignancy
Stigmata of chronic liver disease Raised JVP – heart failure KF ring – Wilson’s disease
spider nevi palmar erythema gynecomastia caput medusae dupuytren's contractures, parotid gland enlargement, testicular atrophy

Abdomen in jaundice
Caput medusae Ascitis – cirrhosis / malignancy Palpation of Liver –o non palpable - not always a good signo Palpable – Large nodular liver – malignancy Smooth – extra hepatic cholestasis Uniformly enlarged – fatty liver Tender – right heart failure, viral or
alcoholic hepatitis , amyloidosis
