Pathological jaundice presents with a variety of symptoms. A common manifestation is yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera. Gastrointestinal abnormalities are also frequent, including abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, pathological jaundice may lead to cholemia (elevated bile salts in the blood), resulting in pruritus (itching), profound fatigue, and persistent fever. Therefore, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is essential upon suspicion of pathological jaundice.
