DEFINITION
The term jaundice or icterus describes the yellow pigmentation of skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes produced by increased serum bilirubin (hyperbilirubinemia). Because jaundice is the most colorful and often the earliest sign of a variety of liver and biliary diseases, it has become a starting point for evaluating many of these disorders. Normal serum bilirubin concentrations range from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dl. Jaundice usually becomes clinically evident at levels exceeding 2.5 img/dl and is most readily detected in the sclerae and mucous membranes.
