Overview[edit | edit source]
Jaundice is classified in two categories including unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and conjugated hyperbilirubinema. Unconjugated hypebilirubinemia can be caused by either increased production, reduced reuptake or defects in conjugation of bilirubin. While conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is further classified into obstruction of biliary tract, interahepatic cholestasis, injury to hepatocellular parenchyma, and defects of hepatocellular canalicular excretion or re-uptake in sinusoids.
Classification[edit | edit source]
Jaundice is classified into two subtypes:[1][2][3][4]
- Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia
- Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia
