Jaundice

At Dixit Clinic and Gastro Centre, we are dedicated to providing expert care for patients experiencing jaundice. Jaundice is a medical condition characterized by the yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, caused by an excess of bilirubin, a yellow pigment, in the blood. This condition can indicate a variety of underlying health issues related to the liver, bile ducts, or red blood cells. Our goal is to accurately diagnose the cause of jaundice and offer effective treatment to restore your health and well-being.

Jaundice occurs when there is an imbalance in the normal processing and elimination of bilirubin, a substance produced from the breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin is typically processed by the liver and excreted in bile. When the liver is unable to effectively process bilirubin or when there is an obstruction in the bile ducts, bilirubin builds up in the bloodstream, leading to jaundice.

• Pre-hepatic Jaundice: Caused by excessive breakdown of red blood cells, leading to an overload of bilirubin that the liver cannot handle. Conditions such as hemolytic anemia can lead to this type of jaundice.
• Hepatic Jaundice: Resulting from liver dysfunction or disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, which impairs the liver’s ability to process bilirubin effectively.
• Post-hepatic Jaundice: Caused by an obstruction in the bile ducts, such as gallstones or tumors, preventing bilirubin from being excreted from the liver.

At Dixit Clinic and Gastro Centre, we offer a thorough approach to diagnosing and managing jaundice, tailored to the specific needs of each patient.

• Accurate Diagnosis: We use advanced diagnostic techniques, including blood tests, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI, to determine the cause of jaundice. This comprehensive evaluation helps us identify the underlying condition and guide appropriate treatment.
• Targeted Treatment: Treatment for jaundice depends on its underlying cause. We address the root of the problem, whether it involves managing liver disease, relieving bile duct obstructions, or treating blood disorders. Our team is experienced in providing both medical and surgical interventions as needed.
