Jaundice:
This is a clinical condition due to
the abnormally raised bilirubin in serum. Typically the sclera becomes yellowish.
As the serum bilirubin increases the skin also becomes yellow. The various causes
could be hemolytic , hepatic or obstructive. The commonest cause is the infective
hepatitis, where the sclera is mild to deep yellow. The greenish yellow tinge
is suggestive of obstructive jaundice.
