What causes jaundice? Analysis of several causes of jaundice

Jaundice is a relatively common disease. In the early stages of the disease, it can cause symptoms such as yellowing of the skin, loss of appetite, and mental depression. Therefore, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive reasonable treatment based on the actual cause of the patient. You can choose blue light irradiation, drug therapy, diet conditioning and other methods to improve the condition and prevent jaundice from becoming more and more serious.

Jaundice is divided into two different conditions: physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If it is physiological jaundice, you can choose daily care or frequent sun exposure to improve the condition. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved in about a week. This disease does not require special treatment. You only need to maintain a good attitude and regular work and rest to relieve the patient's symptoms. In addition, if pathological jaundice occurs, there are many treatment methods, and it is best to carry out targeted treatment. Let's learn about the specific causes of neonatal jaundice.

1. Liver dysfunction

The baby is relatively young, and may develop obvious yellowing symptoms of the skin about three to five days after birth, which is generally caused by jaundice. Active diseases will affect the normal excretion function, and if not treated properly, it may cause serious complications.

2. Incompatibility of blood types between mother and baby

You can choose drug therapy or blood transfusion therapy to improve the condition. If the condition becomes more and more serious, it may even cause the risk of neonatal suffocation and death.
