class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jaundice happens when there is too much bilirubin in the bloodstream. Bilirubin is a yellow-brown pigment produced when the body breaks down old red blood cells. Normally, the liver processes bilirubin and passes it out of the body through bile and stool.<\/p>\n<p>When this process is disrupted, whether by too much bilirubin being produced, the liver being unable to process it or bile being unable to drain properly, <strong>bilirubin builds up and settles in the skin and the whites of the eyes<\/strong>, giving them a yellow tinge.<\/p>\n<p>According to the NHS, jaundice can look different depending on skin tone. It is usually most visible in the eyes even when it is harder to notice on the skin. It is worth remembering that jaundice is a sign, not a diagnosis on its own. <strong>The real question is always what is causing it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph
