Jaundice is the yellow discolouration caused by accumulation of bilirubin in tissue. The normal serum bilirubin is approximately 3-20 mol/l. Jaundice is not usually apparent until serum bilirubin is over 35 mol/l. The detection and differential diagnosis of jaundice are important in clinical assessment. It is important to determine what investigations are appropriate and the significance of the results of investigations. See also Neonatal Jaundice and Jaundice in Pregnancy.
