APPROACH TO JAUNDICE
JAUNDICE
● Yellowish discoloration of body tissues resulting from the deposition of
bilirubin
○ Sclera -High elastin -3mg/dL
○ 2nd Site - Under the tongue
○ Skin → Yellow → Long standing - Green ( Biliverdin)
JAundcie - scleral
Under tongue
biliverdin
Differential Diagnosis for yellowing
● Carotenoderma
○ Most commonly due to - Ingestion of excessive amount of vegetables - Carrots , leafy
vegetables
○ Commonly associated with
■ Diabetes
■ Hypothyroidism
■ Anorexia Nervosa
● Drug induced
○ Quinacrine
○ Sunitinib
○ Sorafenib
○ Phenol exposure
Carotenoderma
● Pigment concentrated on
○ Palms
○ Soles
○ Forehead
○ Nasolabial folds
● Sclerae Spared
Bilirubin
● Prematurely destroyed erythroid
cells
● Myogolobin
● Cytochromes
80-85 %
Breakdown of Senescent RBC
Reticuloendothelial Cells
Biliverdin
CO
Iron
Biliverdin
Bilirubin
Biliverdin Reductase
● Insoluble in Water
● Bind to Albumin for transport
Carrier Mediated Membrane transport to
Hepatocytes
Unconjugated Bilirubin
Glutathione -S - Transferase Superfamily
Reduce Efflux back
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Conjugation to Glucouronic acid
Uridine Diphosphate glucouronosyl transferase
Bilirubin Monoglucouronide
Bilirubin Diglucouronide
Bile Canaliculi Sinusoid
MRP 2
MRP 3
OATP1B1 / OATP1B3
Conjugated Bilirubin
Small Intestine
Distal Ileum /Colon
Unconjugated bilirubin
Urobilinogen /
Urobilins
80-90 %
Excreted in Fecus
10-20 %
Enterohepatic cycling
Not absorbed due to
● Hydrophilicity
● Large molecular size
Bacterial Beta-Glucuronidase
Normal Gut Bacteria
Serum Bilirubin
Direct = Conjugated
Indirect = Unconjugated
● Diazotized sulfanilic acid → Stable
compound absorbs maximally @
540nm
● Accelerator - Alcohol
New Techniques
● 1) In Normal Persons /Gilbert Syndrome = almost 100% of Serum Bilirubin is Unconjugated :
<3 % is Monoconjugated
● 2)Hepatobiliary disease = Monoconjugated predominance
● 3)Direct fraction also includes Delta Fraction
○ Delta fraction = delta Bilirubin = Biliprotein
○ Conjugated Bilirubin which covalently Bound to albumin
○ Important fraction in people with Hepatobiliary disorders / Cholestasis
○ This explains - Absence of Bilirubinuria and Serum bilirubin falls slowly
Urine Bilirubin
● Unconjugated = Bound to albumin = Not excreted in Urine
● Delta Bilirubin = Bound to albumin = Not excreted in Urine →
● Conjugated → Filtered in Glomerulus → Majority absorbed at PCT
● Presence of Bilirubinuria = Elevated Conjugated fraction = Hepatobiliary
disease
False Negative

Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia
Hemolytic disorders
Inherited
● Spherocytes
● Sickle cell anemia
● Thalasemia
● Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency
● G-6-PD deficiency
Aquired
● Microangiopathic Hemolytic anaemia
● Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
● Spur cell anaemia
● Immune Hemolysis
● Parasitic Infections
Crigler Najjar
Type 1
Exceptionally rare
Bilirubin > 20 mg/dL
Neurological deficit
Death at infancy / Childhood
Absence of UDPGT Activity
Type 2
Live into adulthood
Bilirubin ~ 6-25 mg/dL
<10% of Enzyme is active due to
mutation
UDPGT activity can induced by
Phenobarbital
Susceptible under illness
Gilbert Syndrome
● Impaired conjugation due to reduced Bilirubin UDPGT activity (10~35 %)
● Bilirubin ~ 6 mg/dL
● Intermittent Jaundice
● Incidence is 3-7 %
● Male : Female = 1.5-7
Conjugated Hyperbilirubinemia
Patient presents with asymptomatic jaundice
Rotor Syndrome
Dubin johnson Syndrome
History
● Exposure to chemicals/ medications/Alternative medicines
● Any transfusions/ IV drug intake/ ABuse
● Alcohol COnsumption
● Arthralgia / Myalgia preceding the jaundice →Drug induced / Viral Hepatitis
● Sudden onset of Right upper quadrant pain with Chills → CHoledocolithiasis ?
Ascending cholangitis
Physical Examination
● Proximal muscle wasting → Long standing disease
● Look for stigmata of Chronic Liver disease
Abdominal Examination
● Any dilated Veins
● Visible Organomegaly
● Abdominal distension
● Liver - Size and consistency → Look below xiphoid for enlarged Left lobe
● Ascites +/-
● Splenomegaly
● Murphy's sign
Laboratory Tests
● Total and DIrect bilirubin Fraction
● SGOT,SGPT,ALP (49-1)
● Albumin levels → if low = Chronic Disease
● Prothrombin time → Vit K deficiency due to prolonged jaundice /
Malabsorption
○ If the PT not corrected with Vitamin K supplementation → Hepatocellular Injury
● Wilson - Young Patients
● Alcoholic -> Pattern of AST:ALT >2:1
● Viral / Toxin → Enzyme > 500 u/L
○ ALT > AST
● Acute hepatocellular disease
○ 25 x Normal Value may be seen
● Hepatocellular / Cholestatic disease
○ < 8 x Normal Value
