Jaundice results from increased levels of bilirubin in the blood, which can be caused by a number of hepato-biliary (liver and the biliary tract) diseases. It is mainly characterised by yellow discolouration of the whites of eyes and skin. Worsening of the underlying condition can worsen jaundice, leading to life-threatening consequences. Several conditions can cause jaundice including hereditary disorders of bilirubin metabolism, liver diseases, liver infections due to hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, or hepatitis E virus, diseases of the gall bladder, and pancreatic cancer. Along with yellowing of skin, jaundice can present with pallor, dry skin, spoon-shaped nails, and thickening of the skin. Jaundice can be diagnosed through blood tests such as liver function tests (LFTs) or urine test. Homoeopathic remedies, such as chelidonium, carduus marianus, lycopodium, and phosphorus, have been effective in treating jaundice and the underlying condition in several cases. In certain cases, medications like lycopodium have also helped in treating the complications of jaundice such as swelling of liver and abdominal fluid collection (ascites).
