This image depicts a series of illustrated facial changes in a woman—from normal complexion to yellowing skin and eyes—highlighting the progression and complications of jaundice. If left untreated, jaundice may indicate or lead to severe liver conditions, such as acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis, or biliary obstruction. Prolonged elevated bilirubin can also cause neurological damage (kernicterus) in newborns and intense itching, fatigue, or cognitive decline in adults. This clear visual presentation underscores the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to prevent life-threatening outcomes.
