This educational infographic explains the five primary causes of jaundice, using visual cues and simplified anatomy. The conditions shown include:
Acute liver inflammation – impairing the liver’s ability to process bilirubin.
Hemolytic anaemia – where rapid red blood cell breakdown increases bilirubin levels.
Bile duct inflammation – preventing proper bilirubin drainage.
Bile duct obstruction – blocking the flow of bile into the intestines.
Gilbert’s syndrome – a genetic disorder that reduces bilirubin processing efficiency.
The central illustration of a person with half-yellow skin and sclera highlights the visible symptom of jaundice, offering a clear and concise overview of its underlying medical triggers.
