    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology and Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Jaundice presents with diverse causes, often involving hepatobiliary damage.
    • Initial assessment is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the diagnostic approach for jaundice.
    • To differentiate causes of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and cholestasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Bilirubin fractionation for initial evaluation.
    • Liver biopsy for hepatocellular jaundice.
    • Cholangiography (transhepatic or endoscopic retrograde) for cholestasis.

    Main Results:

    • Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia commonly stems from pigment overload or Gilbert's disease.
    • Hepatocellular jaundice etiology is often determined by liver biopsy.
    • Cholangiography effectively differentiates biliary obstruction from intrahepatic cholestasis.

    Conclusions:

    • Fractionation of bilirubin is key in initial jaundice evaluation.
    • Specific diagnostic tools aid in differentiating various causes of jaundice and cholestasis.
