What is feline jaundice

Jaundice is a pathological condition in which the sclera, mucosa and other tissues are stained yellow due to disorders of bile pigment metabolism and increased serum bilirubin concentration. Jaundice is a symptom of various liver and gallbladder diseases and hemolytic anemia. Clinically, jaundice is divided into hemolytic jaundice, hepatocellular jaundice and obstructive jaundice.

Hemolytic jaundice

Diseases that can cause massive destruction of red blood cells and cause hemolysis can cause hemolytic jaundice. At this time, the total serum bilirubin is mostly below 5mg/100mg, which is mainly due to the increase in bilirubin and the increase in urobilinogen, but the urine bilirubin test is negative.

Hepatocellular jaundice

Various types of hepatitis, cirrhosis, leptospirosis, sepsis, etc., may cause damage to liver cells and impede the ability to absorb, combine, and excrete bilirubin, so bilirubin cannot be fully combined.

Obstructive jaundice

According to the location of obstruction, it can be divided into extrahepatic obstructive jaundice and intrahepatic bile stasis jaundice.
