Jaundice originated from French word
‘JAUNE’ that means yellow
•JAUNDICE
•ICTARUS
•PILIYA
A yellowish discoloration of the skin, sclerae(white part of eye) mucous membranes and deeper tissues with increased bilirubinlevel in plasma.
Yellow conjunctiva
Normal skin Yellowish skin
Yellowish nails
The concentration of bilirubin in the plasma must exceed above 1.5 Mg/dl ( > 35 micromole/l), three times more then usual value that is approximately
0.5 Mg/dl for the coloration to be easily visible.
Bilirubin
Metabolism
BETWEEN 250 TO 300 MG(425-510 MMOL ) OF UNCONJUGATED BILIRUBIN IS PRODUCED FROM THE CATABOLISM OF HAEM EVERY DAY. BILIRUBIN IN THE BLOOD IS NORMALLY ALMOST ALL UNCONJUGATED AND, BECAUSE IT IS NOT WATER-SOLUBLE, IS BOUND TO ALBUMIN AND DOES NOT PASS INTO THE URINE
UNCONJUGATED BILIRUBIN IS CONJUGATED BY THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM ENZYME, GLUCURONYL TRANSFERASE, INTO BILIRUBIN MONO- AND DIGLUCURONIDE. THESE BILIRUBIN CONJUGATES ARE WATER-SOLUBLE AND ARE EXPORTED INTO THE BILE VIA SPECIFIC CARRIERS ON THE HEPATOCYTE MEMBRANE.
CONJUGATED BILIRUBIN IS METABOLISED BY COLONIC BACTERIA TO FORM STERCOBILINOGEN, WHICH MAY BE FURTHER OXIDISED TO STERCOBILIN. BOTH STERCOBILINOGEN AND STERCOBILIN ARE THEN EXCRETED IN THE STOOL
A SMALL AMOUNT OF STERCOBILINOGEN (10%) IS ABSORBED FROM THE BOWEL, PASSES THROUGH THE LIVER AND IS EXCRETED IN THE URINE, WHERE IT IS KNOWN AS UROBILINOGEN OR, FOLLOWING FURTHER OXIDISATION, UROBILIN.
