What is Jaundice?
Jaundice is mainly because of excess of a pigment called bilirubin in the body. This is further caused by less activity of the liver cells that produce bile juice. The bile is not produced in sufficient amount which thereby causes the inability to digest food as it does not reach the small intestine.

How does it happen? There can be various reasons for the occurrence of jaundice. This is mainly caused due to liver disorders in the body. There is not enough bile juice secreted from the liver cells. The liver cells activity reduces drastically and thereby increasing the amount of bilirubin in the body. There are few conditions responsible for jaundice such as:

• Alcoholic liver diseases are responsible for jaundice. Alcohol content when rises in the body, it starts affecting the liver cells thereby decreasing their action.
• Acute hepatitis is also responsible for causing jaundice.
• Pancreatic diseases are another major reason for jaundice.
• Hemolytic anemia
• Blockage in bile ducts is majorly responsible for causing jaundice.
