What are the symptoms of jaundice?

Jaundice is common in patients with physiological jaundice in newborns, excessive bilirubin production, and bilirubin metabolism disorders in the liver. The symptoms of jaundice caused by different ages and different conditions are basically the same, and the clinical manifestations are similar.

Jaundice patients will first have the face and trunk skin showing yellow, the patient's skin is bright, bright yellow, and some patients have dark yellow skin. The second symptom of jaundice patients is sclera yellowing, and when the symptoms worsen, the urine will also be yellow. Newborns will also have physiological jaundice, and jaundice symptoms will appear 2 to 3 days after birth. When the weather reaches its peak at 4 to 6, it will gradually subside in about a week. During this period, children will not have other clinical symptoms, only a slight loss of appetite.

If the symptoms of children last for more than two weeks and newborns last for more than four weeks, and the jaundice still does not subside or continues to worsen, pathological jaundice should be considered. Pathological jaundice in children is caused by excessive bilirubin production or liver bilirubin metabolism disorder. It generally lasts for a long time, more than two weeks or one month, and the jaundice area is relatively large. In addition to the face and trunk, there may also be yellow staining of the limbs, hands, feet and feet.

Jaundice is very common in clinical practice. As long as it is treated actively, both adult jaundice and neonatal jaundice can be well treated.
