WHAT DOES JAUNDICE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jaundice

Jaundice

Jaundice is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membranes over the sclerae, and other mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia. This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluid. Concentration of bilirubin in blood plasma is normally below 1.2 mg/dL. A concentration higher than 2.5 mg/dL leads to jaundice. The term jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow. Jaundice is often seen in liver disease such as hepatitis or liver cancer. It may also indicate leptospirosis or obstruction of the biliary tract, for example by gallstones or pancreatic cancer, or less commonly be congenital in origin. Yellow discoloration of the skin, especially on the palms and the soles, but not of the sclera and mucous membranes is due to carotenemia—a harmless condition important to differentiate from jaundice.

Definition of jaundice in the English dictionary

The first definition of jaundice in the dictionary is Also called: icterus. yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes due to the abnormal presence of bile pigments in the blood, as in hepatitis. Other definition of jaundice is a mental state of bitterness, jealousy, and ill humour resulting in distorted judgment. Jaundice is also to distort adversely.
