Hello Jaundice occurs when there is yellow tinge to the skin and white of the eye. It usually occurs when there is a problem with liver or bile duct. The conjugated bilirubin as you mentioned is a waste product from the blood that if remains in excess in blood causes jaundice. So, it is necessary for the body to excrete bilirubin from the body regularly. Symptoms in jaundice may include, yellow skin and sclera, pale stool (stool loses the natural color), dark yellow urine, itching in skin, heavy vomiting and abdominal pain too. Fever and fatigue are very common in jaundice patients. Appetite also goes down. Alcohol must be avoided and your diet and exercise should be followed diligently. No, jaundice is not an overnight disease except in cases of recent incompatible blood transfusion. Tc.
