AB  - Jaundice  is  a  light  yellowing  of  the  skin,  mucous  membranes,  and  sclera;  it  is  generally  detectable  when  bilirubin  levels  are  about  3.0  mg/dL.  Many  patients  may  not  be  aware  of  the  faint  yellowing  and  present  with  seemingly  unrelated  symptoms.  Up  to  50%  of  patients  with  jaundice  will  have  pruritus.  The  most  important  diagnoses  to  rule  out  are  hemolytic  anemias,  viral  hepatitis,  chronic  alcohol  abuse,  autoimmune  hepatitis,  medications,  primary  biliary  cirrhosis,  primary  sclerosing  cholangitis,  cholelithiasis,  surgical  strictures,  and  obstructive  malignancies.  Acetaminophen,  penicillins,  and  oral  contraceptives  are  some  of  the  more  common  medications  associated  with  jaundice.
