Jaundice

What is Jaundice?

Jaundice is a condition where the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes turn yellow due to elevated bilirubin levels. It signals an underlying issue with the liver, bile ducts, or red blood cells. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s premier jaundice treatment center, we specialize in recognizing the root cause and providing targeted therapies to restore liver health.

Common causes we diagnose at our Delhi center:
• Liver conditions (hepatitis, cirrhosis)
• Gallstones or pancreatic tumors
• Genetic disorders (Gilbert's syndrome)
• Alcohol-related liver damage
Advanced imaging and blood tests pinpoint the exact cause.

Treatment differs by type:
Obstructive jaundice: ERCP stenting or gallbladder surgery
Hepatic jaundice: Antivirals, alcohol cessation, or lifestyle changes
Our specialists tailor plans using ultrasound and MRCP imaging results.

Possibly, depending on the cause:
• Gilbert's syndrome: Stress/fasting may trigger recurrence
• Chronic liver disease: May persist intermittently
