What you may notice
Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary between people.
- Marked jaundice
- Yellow eyes
- Neurological changes if bilirubin rises severely
Understanding care
Clinical care may include prompt specialist bilirubin assessment and ongoing liver-focused management. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
New or worsening jaundice, especially in an infant with poor feeding, needs prompt assessment. Marked drowsiness, seizures, vomiting blood or collapse requires emergency care.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
