Yellow hands and feet of a child

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this condition may be caused by jaundice. Jaundice, also known as icterus, is commonly referred to as yellow disease. It is a symptom and sign characterized by the yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera due to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. Certain liver diseases, gallbladder diseases, and blood disorders often cause jaundice symptoms. Typically, when the bilirubin concentration in the blood exceeds 2-3 mg/dL (34-51), these parts will exhibit a visibly discernible color.
