 Causes, Symptoms, Remedies of Jaundice

Hello friends, I hope everyone is well. Do you know the cause, symptoms and remedies of jaundice. Let's not know. We are all familiar with the name jaundice. But I don't know, jaundice is not a disease. This is just a symptom of another disease. It causes yellowing of the skin, sclera or whites of the eyes and other mucous membranes. At one stage the color of urine also turns yellow. The main reason for the increase in the amount of bilirubin in the body. And there is another reason behind the increase in bilirubin. Jaundice patients need immediate and proper treatment. Failure to start treatment at the right time can lead to death of the patient. The normal level of bilirubin in the blood is <1.0-1.5 mg / dl. And when the level of bilirubin in the body doubles, it can be understood from outside. In some cases, the color of the urine may turn dark yellow. The previous day it was called vitiligo because the skin of the body looks pale. Let's not know about the cause, symptoms and cure of the disease- What is jaundice? Yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and eyes is commonly called jaundice. Old red blood cells in our body always produce bilirubin, which is mainly excreted from the body through the bowel. If for some reason this bilirubin cannot be excreted from the body then more bilirubin accumulates in the body causing jaundice. In addition, jaundice can cause many more problems in the body. Causes of jaundice: Liver disease is the leading cause of jaundice. Everything we eat is processed in the liver. The liver can be diseased for various reasons. Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E viruses cause inflammation in the liver which is called viral hepatitis. These hepatitis viruses are the main cause of jaundice in our country and all over the world. However, in developed countries, excessive drinking is one of the leading causes of jaundice. Jaundice can also be caused by autoimmune liver disease and some other relatively rare liver diseases, including hereditary factors. Jaundice is often caused by side effects of the drug.In addition, jaundice can be caused by diseases such as thalassemia and hemoglobin E-disease, blood clots or gallstones or tumors and cancer of the liver or elsewhere. So it is not right to think that jaundice means liver disease. In children, jaundice can be caused by biliary atresia and problems with the production and excretion of bilirubin from birth.

Let us know the reasons that have been known in the context of this incident. 1. Inflammation of the liver: Inflammation of the liver increases the production of bilirubin. As a result, the level of bilirubin in the blood increases and jaundice occurs. 2. Inflammation of the bile duct: Inflammation of the bile ducts disrupts the absorption of bilirubin. As a result bilirubin tends to increase. 3. Bile duct block: The liver fails to remove bilirubin when the bile duct is blocked. The possibility of jaundice increases. 4. Gilbert's syndrome: In this condition the efficiency of the enzyme decreases. This causes problems with the bile ducts and increases the levels of bilirubin. 5. Dubin-Johnson syndrome: This hereditary disease prevents the absorption of bilirubin from the liver. As a result, the risk of jaundice increases. When should a doctor be consulted? If the skin, eyes, etc. of the body of a child or an adult turn yellow, the necessary action should be taken as soon as possible by contacting a doctor. Tests required for jaundice: Blood test. Liver function and cholesterol test. Prothrombin time. Abdominal ultrasound. Urine test. Liver biopsy. Antidote for jaundice Timely vaccination against hepatitis A and B is the best way to avoid jaundice. Therefore, it is necessary to get tested for jaundice germs in the body and get vaccinated before getting the disease. Once the jaundice is over, there will be no benefit with the vaccine. So you have to get vaccinated before you are healthy. Hepatitis B is given one dose in the first month, one in the second month or one in six months. And for hepatitis A, one dose is enough. In both cases the booster dose is given for five consecutive years. Care and treatment of jaundice Earlier jaundice did not have a very good medical system.
