Jaundice is a symptom that occurs due to excessive amounts of bilirubin in the blood. The causes for jaundice are several. Bilirubin is a buildup of old RBCs that have been processed by the liver.ilirubin that fails to escape is seen as yellow pigmentation of the skin. Neonatal jaundice is relatively normal; bruises turn yellow when they heal; malaria, hepatitis, hemolytic anemia, pancreatic cancer and cirrhosis are serious causes of jaundice. 1  Hypercarotenemia.
Jaundice can occur in babies, children, and adults. Jaundice is not an illness in itself, but a medical condition in which too much bilirubin -- a compound produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin from red blood cells -- is circulating in the blood. The excess bilirubin causes the skin, eyes, and mucus membranes in the mouth to turn a yellowish color. Because bilirubin is processed by the liver, the symptoms of jaundice may indicate damage to the liver in adults. If the cause is not identified and treated, it can lead to liver failure.
