Scientists have used whole genome sequencing data from Norwegian infants to identify a genetic variant that almost totally prevents jaundice in one in eight newborns. This data may also open up better ...

Bilirubin, a by-product of haem metabolism, plays a crucial role in human physiology beyond its well-known association with jaundice. Emerging evidence underscores its antioxidant and cell signalling ...

“The gene variant codes for an enzyme that has not previously been linked to the metabolism of bilirubin. Although the enzyme itself does not protect against jaundice, the discovery has led us further ...

Jaundice is caused by an elevation of bloodstream levels of a compound known as bilirubin, which causes the skin to turn yellow. Treatment typically involves exposing the infant to blue light, which ...

Jaundice is when there is too much bilirubin in the blood. When this happens in a baby their eyes and skin develop a yellow coloring. Bilirubin is a yellow substance that is produced after the liver ...

Nagoya University researchers and their collaborators have found that minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery significantly ...

Cholecystitis, or gallbladder inflammation, can sometimes cause jaundice if something blocks the flow of bile from the gallbladder. Cholecystitis refers to inflammation of the gallbladder. There are ...

Black people experience yellow skin as a symptom of jaundice, but it may be difficult to see at first, depending on your skin tone. It’s easier to spot the whites of your eyes turning yellow, but that ...

Bilirubin is a waste product that is processed by the liver and is responsible for giving bile, which helps your body digest fats, its yellow color. While low bilirubin levels are typically not a ...

Bilirubin is a yellowish substance created by the breakdown of red blood cells. Detecting it in your urine can be a sign of a health problem, such as liver or gallbladder disease. The detection of ...
