What to do if you have jaundice and yellow urine

The treatment of jaundice with yellow urine includes medication, dietary modification, and etiology treatment, which may be related to liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolytic disease. Symptomatic treatment of the cause is the key to improving symptoms.

1. Drug treatment: Choose drugs according to the specific cause. If it is a liver disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, liver protection drugs such as silymarin and diammonium glycyrrhizinate can be used; patients with biliary obstruction can use choleretic drugs such as ursodeoxycholic acid; patients with hemolytic diseases may need immunosuppressants such as prednisone. Drug treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid self-medication.

2. Diet adjustment: Diet has a certain auxiliary effect on the improvement of jaundice. It is recommended to reduce the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, such as fried foods and animal offal; increase foods rich in vitamin C and fiber, such as citrus fruits and whole grains; drinking water in moderation can help dilute urine and reduce yellow urine.

3. Etiological treatment: The root cause of jaundice needs to be identified and treated in a targeted manner. Patients with liver disease need to actively treat the primary disease, such as antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis; patients with biliary obstruction may need surgery to relieve the obstruction, such as biliary stent implantation or cholecystectomy; patients with hemolytic disease need immunotherapy or blood transfusion support based on the cause.

The symptoms of jaundice and yellow urine need to be taken seriously, and timely medical treatment to identify the cause is the key. Through the comprehensive intervention of drug treatment, dietary adjustment and etiology treatment, the symptoms can be effectively improved and the progression of the disease can be prevented. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.
