Learning objectives
• Understand mechanism of Bilirubin formation and how its increase can lead to jaundice.
• Discuss Pathophysiologic classification of Jaundice and clinical characteristics of each type.

Jaundice (icterus) • It is a yellowish pigmentation of the skin, the
sclera, and other mucous membranes .• Jaundice is not a disease but it is a sign of
other diseases.

* Causes of Jaundice: • Caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels
of bilirubin in the blood). This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluid.
• A concentration higher than 1.8 mg/dL leads to jaundice.

Bilirubin Metabolism After destruction of red blood cells hemoglobin(HB) will be released. Then hemoglobin will be splitted into heme and globin. Then heme is changed into biliverdin then to bilirubin. But bilirubin is water insoluble so can not excreted directly into
urine to eliminate it . To overcome this problem this bilirubin must be carried by plasma
proteins such as albumin to inside liver . Inside hepatocytes the unconjugated bilirubin undergo conjugation
by glucoronic acid and form the conjugated bilirubin which is water soluble.

• This conjugated bilirubin is excreted from the liver into the
biliary and cystic ducts as part of bile.
• Intestinal bacteria convert the bilirubin into urobilinogen.
• From here the urobilinogen can take two pathways:
a. It can either be further converted into stercobilinogen, which
is then oxidized to stercobilin and passed out in the feces.
b. or it can be reabsorbed by the intestinal cells, transported in
the blood to the kidneys, and passed out in the urine as the
oxidised product urobilin.
Stercobilin and urobilin are the products responsible for the
coloration of feces and urine, respectively. 8

Types of bilirubin•Unconjugated bilirubin(UCB)Unconjugated bilirubin(UCB)::because of its lipid solubility and not water soluble, it is not excreted in urine.
•Conjugated bilirubin (CB): Conjugated bilirubin (CB): is water soluble, so it is filtered at the glomerulus and appears in the urine.

Physiologic Neonatal jaundice
• it is often seen in infants around the second day after birth, lasting until day 8 in normal births, or to around day 14 in premature births .
• the jaundice is presumably a consequence of metabolic and physiological adjustments after birth.
• it is usually harmless.• Serum bilirubin normally drops to a low level without any
intervention required.• exposing the baby to intensive phototherapy. Bilirubin
count is lowered through bowel movements and urination so regular and proper feedings are especially important

* Pathophysiologic classification of Jaundice:
1. Pathologic neonatal Jaundice.
2. Hemolytic Jaundice.
3. Obstructive Jaundice (Cholestasis).
4. Hepatic Jaundice.

1. Pathologic Neonatal jaundice 1. Pathologic Neonatal jaundice • In cases where bilirubin rises higher and so jaundice
persist for more than 3 weeks after birth.• this neonatal hyperbilirubinemia May be due to
congenital absence for the enzymes required for bilirubin conjugation inside liver.
• Most dangerous complication is brain-damage due to deposition of bilirubin,a condition known as kernicterus leading to significant lifelong disability.

2. Hemolytic Jaundice.2. Hemolytic Jaundice.– Overproduction of Unconjugated Bilirubin can
result from Excess Hemolysis e.g. in sickle cell anaemia, spherocytosis, thalassemia, malaria, autoimmune disorders…
– Overproduction of heme may overload the liver with excess unconjugated Bilirubin.

* Lab investigations of hemolytic jaundice:
Increase Unconjugated bilirubin.
urobilinogen in feces and urine
hemoglobinuria (in acute intravascular
hemolysis)
Reticulocyte counts

3. Obstructive Jaundice- It is due to extra hepatic obstruction of bile ducts so
conjugated bilirubin can not reach intestine.* Causes of obstruction of bile duct:1. Gall bladder Stones.2. Fibrous Stricture of the biliary ducts following
Inflammatory lesions.3. Tumors of Ampulla of Vater can compress bile duct
from outside.

* Clinical picture of obstructive jaundice:
• Yellow color of skin, mucous membranes.• Severe itching or "pruritus" because of the
deposition of bile salts in skin.

* Lab investigations of Obstructive Jaundice:
Serum Bilirubin• Reduced of absent Fecal urobilinogen • Reduced or absent stercobilinogen. bilirubinuria (conjugated type)

4. Hepatic Jaundice
Due to a disease affecting hepatic tissue either congenital or acquired leading to hepatocellular damage e.g. Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, tumors…

* Lab investigations of hepatic jaundice: • liver function tests are abnormalboth Conjugated Bilirubin and Unconjugated
Bilirubin.
