Jaundice
Definition
An abnormal increase in the bilirubin levels in the human body can cause jaundice and jaundice remedies seek to find a solution to this problem. In medical terminology, it is known as icterus. When a person is affected by this ailment, the blood and extracellular fluids get imbued with excess bilirubin. This can have fatal consequences. Practically speaking, jaundice itself does not cause death but it paves the way for fatal aliments like cirrhosis and hepatitis. Jaundice remedies seek to address this malaise.
However, some quantity of bilirubin is important for digestion of food and the gall bladder secretes this pigment. If the red blood cells in the liver of a person cannot complete the total life span they are converted to bilirubin. With effective jaundice remedies you can combat this dreadful disease.
Causes
Jaundice can be caused by several factors and jaundice remedies seek to address these factors.
• There are certain drugs that trigger this ailment in some people.
• Those who drink heavily can fall prey to the disease.
• If the liver ducts get blocked for any reason, the bilirubin is forced to flow back in the blood and this can trigger jaundice.
• The thyroid glands of a person can malfunction at times and this can also cause jaundice.
