Given below are some foods that may further aggravate your condition and must be avoided.

Foods To Avoid

Avoid meat dairy salty and sugary food when you have jaundice

Avoid these foods if you have jaundice:

  • Sugar
  • Meat
  • Dairy products
  • Salt

These foods are quite hard to digest and end up aggravating the condition. Hence, steer clear of them to facilitate faster recovery from jaundice.

Let us now look at the leading causes of jaundice in both adults and newborns.

Causes And Risk Factors For Jaundice

Jaundice occurs due to excess bilirubin in the body in both adults and infants. Bilirubin is a waste product that is produced as a result of the breakdown of your red blood cells. This compound is broken down and excreted through the stools (22).

Prior to birth, babies have a different form of hemoglobin that starts to break down rapidly after they are born. This generates high levels of bilirubin that need to be excreted from their body.

An underdeveloped liver cannot excrete bilirubin as fast as it is being produced, and hence, this might result in hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice in infants (23).

Other causes and risk factors for jaundice in infants are (23):

  • Breastfeeding jaundice that occurs when the baby is not fed well in the first week of life.
  • Breast milk jaundice that occurs when certain compounds in breast milk interfere with the breakdown of bilirubin.
  • Medical conditions like sickle cell anemia, liver disease, and sepsis.
  • Premature birth
  • Bruising during birth
  • Blood group incompatibility between the mother and the infant. Pris, a blogger, shared her newborn infant’s journey with jaundice. He was diagnosed soon after his birth with a high level of jaundice that increased after consuming breast milk. She writes, “My doctor was perturbed as to why the level increased with breastmilk. They came up with some explanations ranging from breastmilk being harder for baby to digest compared to formula milk to hubby having a different blood group from me, so baby might have a blood group that would have to “fight” the antibodies from 2 different blood groups, resulting in a higher jaundice level (i).”

The causes and risk factors for jaundice or high bilirubin levels in adults are (22):

  • Medical conditions like malaria, sickle cell anemia, cirrhosisi  A severe form of liver disease when good liver tissue is permanently damaged and replaced by scar tissue. , cancer, gallstones, and autoimmune disorders.
  • Certain medications
  • Parasites like liver flukes
  • Exposure to different types of viral hepatitis
  • Hereditary conditions
  • Alcohol consumption

The following are some of the signs and symptoms that surface with jaundice in adults and infants.

What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Jaundice?

The signs and symptoms of jaundice include (22):

  • Pale stool
  • Dark urine
  • Itchy skin
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Bleeding (in the rectum)
  • Diarrhea
  • Chills
  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weakness
  • Weight loss
  • Abdominal pains and headaches
  • Swelling (legs and abdomen)

The signs of jaundice in infants include (23):

  • Drowsiness
  • Poor feeding
  • Pale stools
  • Dark urine
  • Yellow abdomen and limbs
  • Weakness
  • Inability to put on weight
  • Irritability

Jaundice may be divided into three major types, depending on its cause.

Types Of Jaundice

  • Pre-Hepatic Jaundice: This type of jaundice results from an excessive breakdown of red blood cells, which overwhelms the liver’s ability to metabolize bilirubin (22).
  • Hepatocellular Jaundice: When your liver loses its ability to metabolize bilirubin, it results in hepatocellular jaundice. This type is often a result of liver dysfunction (22).
  • Post-Hepatic Jaundice: When there is an obstruction in the drainage of bilirubin from your body, it results in post-hepatic jaundice (22).

Let’s now take a look at the levels of bilirubin in adults and infants that determine the onset of jaundice.

Jaundice Level Chart

The most common way of testing the bilirubin levels is through a blood test, though an amniotic fluid test and a urine test can also give reliable results. The test measures the levels of both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin.

The normal bilirubin levels in adults range from 0.2 mg/dL to 1.2 mg/dL. Any levels above this are considered high, and the individual has an increased risk of developing jaundice.

Newborns should not have bilirubin levels above 5 mg/dL. Infants whose bilirubin levels rise above this level after a few days of birth are also at the risk of developing jaundice.

Pris shared that her son’s jaundice level was 18.5 which fell to 18 after formula feed and phototherapy. However, the level increased to 19.5 after he fed on breastmilk. She mentioned, “After one day of formula feed and phototherapy, the jaundice level fell to 18. However, this level was still too high for him to be discharged, so stay another day we had to (i).”

As per this report, jaundice is more commonly seen in newborns and the elderly. In newborns, around 20% may develop jaundice due to an immature liver function. Among children, hepatitis A is the primary cause of jaundice, whereas, in elders, it is either due to bile duct block or liver damage.

High bilirubin levels are not favored, and they must be kept in check to avoid health complications that may lead to jaundice.

Consult a doctor as soon as symptoms arise as jaundice can be a presentation of many severe diseases like hepatitis, liver failure, and certain hematological conditions.

Jaundice may take an ugly turn if the treatment is delayed for too long. Hence, it is best to start treatment while also following these remedies. Let us find out more about it in the next section.

Medical Treatment For Jaundice

Clinical treatment for jaundice depends on its underlying cause and is different for adults and children. For instance, for jaundice-induced pruritus, cholestyramine is often prescribed by doctors as the first line of treatment. They may also prescribe rifampicin, naltrexone, and sertraline as the second, third, and fourth line of treatment, respectively (24). However, you should avoid consuming these drugs on your own.

In case of infants, the doctor may use conventional phototherapy or exchange transfusion for treatment, depending on the severity of neonatal jaundice (25).

Jaundice can be dangerous to one’s health, and recovery can take weeks. Relying solely on medication during your illness may not be the best option. Because jaundice affects your liver and metabolism, you need nutrition rest to help your body heal over time. Certain remedies, in addition to medications, can aid in your treatment. We have listed the same in the infographic below. Scroll down to check.

Jaundice is a medical condition in which there is an excess of bilirubin, a waste product, in the blood. Both adults and infants can get jaundice, albeit for different reasons. However, in either case, jaundice, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications as it generally is an indication of underlying health conditions. Some common signs of jaundice include yellowing of skin and eyes, pale stool, dark urine, weakness, and inability to gain weight or weight loss. While medical treatment is essential for this condition, you may follow some home remedies to manage jaundice, such as exposure to sunlight, consuming natural foods for a healthy liver like papaya, tomatoes, sugarcane juice, barley water, and the application of specific essential oils.
