Causes of jaundice

Jaundice is caused by the build-up in your body of a yellow substance called bilirubin.

There are lots of possible reasons for this and some of them are serious.

They include:

• gallstones
• alcoholic liver disease

• hepatitis
• sickle cell disease

Treatments for jaundice depend on what's causing it.
