Jaundice
Jaundice, also known as icterus, is yellowing of the skin, sclera (the white of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the human body. Usually the concentration of bilirubin in the blood must exceed 2–3mg/dL for the coloration to be easily visible. Jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow.
