Jaundice - Types and Causes of Jaundice


In this video I have explained about different types of jaundice, that is pre-hepatic jaundice, hepatic jaundice and post hepatic jaundice. Various points to differentiate between these three types of jaundice were explained. The enzyme changes, type of bilirubin elevated and the changes in the color of stool and urine is also explained. With the help of this video you should be able to differentiate at-least biochemically three different types of jaundice.
