Jaundice is one of the most common conditions needing medical
attention. Jaundice is a term use for the condition in which yellow
colouration of the skin and the sclera occurs and is caused by a
raised level of bilirubin in the circulation, a condition known as
hyperbilirubinemia.
Jaundice is the most common condition that needs medical attention in newborns. About 80% of preterm and
50% of term infants develop jaundice in their early days of life. The purpose of this study is to check the awareness
of this disease amongst the undergraduate students in our society. The main underlying reason for this study is to
create awareness about the disease, its symptoms. Prior to fill these questinorrae the student got a brief lecture and
understanding of the disease so they can link and understand the purpose well. A yellow coloration disease, jaundice
is a medical condition due to hyperbilirubinaemia or increases the levels of bilirubin in the body. Depending on the
position of jaundice, i.e. pre-hepatic, hepatic or post-hepatic, cause may vary. Common symptoms are dark coloured
urine or pale coloured stool. Jaundice is caused due to abnormal destruction of red blood cells because bilirubin
is made as a by-product in this process. CBC, LFT and different imaging techniques are used for the diagnosis of
jaundice. Exchange transfusion, phototherapy, surgery and medications are usually considered as the treatment
strategies. Our survey aimed to find out its awareness among the pharmacy undergraduates at Jinnah University for
Women, Karachi, Pakistan. A random and cross-sectional method was to collect the data in the month of November-
December, 2014.
