Jaundice-associated conditions are diseases or conditions that cause yellow skin (jaundice).

Jaundice is a sign of liver, gallbladder, or certain blood disorders. The skin and the eyes become yellow due to the buildup of bilirubin in the skin and "white" of the eye (sclera).

Conditions associated with jaundice include:

Hepatitis:

• Autoimmune hepatitis
• Hepatitis due to the effects of drugs (drug-induced hepatitis)
• Jaundice caused by reduced oxygen or blood flow to the liver (ischemic hepatitis)
• Viral hepatitis (hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, and hepatitis E)

Gallbladder and bile duct disorders:

• Biliary atresia
• Blockage of the bile ducts (by infection, tumor, biliary stricture or gallstones)
• Gallbladder and bile duct cancers
• Primary biliary cirrhosis

Liver disorders:

• Bile pools in the liver because of the effects of drugs (drug-induced cholestasis)
• Cirrhosis
• Congenital disorders of bilirubin metabolism
• Dubin-Johnson syndrome
• Gilbert disease

Other causes:

• Bile pools in the liver during pregnancy (intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy)
• Newborn jaundice
• Pancreatic carcinoma
