Jaundice

• Result of retention of bile
• Functions of bile – Elimination – bilirubin, cholesterol, xenobiotics – Bile salts / phospholipids – emulsification of
dietary fat

• Jaundice – yellowish discoloration of skin and sclera (icterus)
• Serum Bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dl (Normal <1.2)
• Cholestasis – systemic retention of bilirubin and other solutes of bile

ß- glucuronidases
20% enterohepatic circulation

Bilirubin productionHepatic Uptake
Conjugation Excertion
Normal – rates are equal – no jaundice
Unconjugated bilirubin (indirect)
Conjugated bilirubin(direct)

Increased Bilirubin production
Excess production of bilirubin • Hemolytic anemia • Resorption of blood – alimentary
canal/ hematoma • In-effective erythropoiesis
PRE-HEPATIC JAUNDICE
![Page 9: Laboratory approach to jaundice](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58b87e421a28ab44078b5573/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reduced hepatic uptake• Drug interference • Diffuse hepatocellular disease –
hepatitis
Reduced uptake
HEPATOCELLULAR JAUNDICE

Impaired conjugation
Impaired bilirubin conjugation • Physiologic jaundice of the new born
HEPATOCELLULAR JAUNDICE
![Page 11: Laboratory approach to jaundice](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062822/58b87e421a28ab44078b5573/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Decreased excretion
Decreased hepatocellular excretion • Deficiency in canalicular membrane
transporters • Drug induced membrane dysfunction • Hepatocellular damage / toxicity
HEPATOCELLULAR JAUNDICE

Impaired flow
Impaired intra- extrahepatic bile flow • Inflammatory destruction of bile ducts • Gall stones • Carcinoma of pancreas
Surgically treatable
OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE

PRELIMINARY TESTS
• Total Serum Bilirubin• Ratio of Conjugated bilirubin total
bilirubin • Urine Bilirubin • Urine Urobilinogen • Stool – color

Test Pre- hepatic
Hepato-cellular
Obstructive
Total Bilirubin ↑ ↑ ↑
Conjugated to Total Bilirubin ratio
<20% 20-40% >50%
Urine bilirubin(Only conjugated is
filtrated)
Absent Present Increased
Urine urobilinogen Increased Present Absent
Stool Polycholic Polycholic Pale/acholic
