Hepatocellular conditons
Cholestasis - Intrahepatic
Cholestasis - Extrahepatic
Features of prehepatic jaundice Triad of anemia , Jaundice , spleenomegaly According to hemolytic anemia – malaria, autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Features of hepatocellular jaundice Anorexia, nausea , vomiting, weakness Stool is yellow( but may be dark,clay colored in later stages due to intrahepatic cholestasis ) Liver is enlarged , tender
Features of obstructive jaundice Pale, dark/clay colored stool Itching of whole body May be abdominal pain , mass in epigastrium Other features depend upon ( xanthelasma / xanthoma in PBC) Bleeding tendency Bone pain
Palpable gall bladder with jaundice Carcinoma of head of pancreas Carcinoma of ampulla of vater Stone in common bile duct Pressure from outside on bile duct Cholangiocarcinoma Sclerosing cholangitis
Painless progressive jaundice with palpable gall bladder Carcinoma of head of pancreas
Abdominal pain with fluctuating jaundice Stone in CBD or stricture pancreatitis
