The challenge of diagnosing the cause of jaundice.

Source

West Palm Beach VA Medical Center, Fla., USA.

Abstract

The patient presenting with jaundice may have a variety of hepatobiliary or hematologic conditions. Understanding the causes of jaundice and the history and physical examination hallmarks provide the basis for choosing the most efficacious laboratory and diagnostic studies. A case report illustrating the reasoning involved in distinguishing between the different causes of jaundice is presented.
