AB  - Jaundice  is  a  yellowish  discoloration  of  skin,  sclera,  and  mucous  membranes  resulting  from  the  elevated  levels  of  bilirubin  in  the  circulation,  usually  presents  at  levels  of  >2.5  mg/dL.  Hyperbilirubinemia  occurs  as  a  result  of  (1)  overproduction  (e.g.,  hemolysis),  (2)  inadequate  cellular  processing  (e.g.,  infections,  drugs,  toxins),  or  (3)  decreased  excretion  of  bilirubin  (e.g.,  pancreatic  tumor,  gallstone  in  the  common  bile  duct).  The  causes  of  jaundice  can  also  be  classified  as  prehepatic,  hepatic,  and  posthepatic.
