thyroid jaundice

I've read jaundice is particularly common in premature babies. I was born two weeks late. My mother had to be induced even then. I was so not ready to leave. :) I didn't have jaundice.

The doctor says that I have Jaundice. All other liver tests are within normal ranges. I have Graves Disease and have had my thyroid removed. I have circular red blotches on my chest that are real itchy. Recently my doctor raised my synthroid significantly. Should I be concerned?

If your report says that your bilirubin is high, then you probably have jaundice (jaundice is the accumulation of bilirubin under the skin) and some type of liver disease that needs further testing and diagnosis. My two cents. Take care and God bless.

It could be a case of jaundice, I am not a professional but I know that jaundice causes yellow pigmentation in your skin.

Hi, this could be neuropathy, low calcium levels, thyroid disorder, vitamin B deficiency, obstructive jaundice, autoimmune disorder or simply allergic manifestations. Please get blood work done, SGPT, SAP levels for liver function, TLC and DLC for allergy, T3 and T4 for thyroid function, urine and blood urea for kidney function along with calcium and vitamin B levels. How old are you?

I only ask because your liver processes EVERYTHING in your body and converts it to usable forms -including thyroid hormones. If it is under stress enough to cause jaundice, there may be something going on in the background -more than just medication processing. I had it for 5 years and didn't know. I attributed the fatigue, trouble concentrating, and occasional low blood sugar issues to aging, eating a not-so-good diet, and working a demanding job. It wouldn't hurt to get it checked.

Is your baby getting regular check ups with her doctor for the jaundice? New born jaundice should not last longer than 2 weeks, and if it does it could signal a liver condition that requires treatment, and you are at the two week mark.

My first two children had jaundice when they were born and had to stay in the hospital an extra day to get the uv light treatments. I'm assuming my third baby will have it too... has anyone else had multiple children with jaundice?

Has anyone else had a baby that had problems with Jaundice? My son was born 5 days ago at 35+4 weeks & we got to bring him home yesterday after two long days under the light & we went back to recheck his levels & they were rising so we go back in the morning to get another test done & if they are rising then he is going to be admitted back into the hospital. I'm really scared & was wondering if anyone else went through this & their baby is fine. Thanks in advance!!

Hi ladies I gave birth 5 weeks early to a healthy baby boy. He didn't have jaundice at the hospital. He is now 12 days old and has slight jaundice. Is there any other way to rid of this besides direct sunlight? I'm worried about it not going away on its own.

Any moms had babys with jaundice , how long did they last with and how did it go away. My son is 4 days and i have to keep taking him back to the hospital to get his blood drawn every day. Im just wondering if any other moms went through this ?

Its when baby produces too much billireubin (an enzyme made in the liver) which causes yellowing of the skin. If baby is jaundice, or has hyperbillireubinemia, they will be placed under special UV lights that will promote the billi levels to come down on their own. Its not uncommon, I work on a pediatric floor and we see this quite a bit.

Well my son is a week old and the doctors said he has mild jaundice and they did some blood work on him , im not familiar with this my first son didn't have it cause i used formula and i was doing research and they said breastfeeding causes it ... now im worried should I stop for a while and use formula ?

Could be jaundice, when you go to Urinate have you noticed if its a very dark color, also your nails will go yellow and you will get upper stomach pain. Go to see you Doctor he wull know.

re jaundiced. Generally 1.4 is not elevated enough to show jaundice. Typically jaundice is seen in patients with a 2 MG/dl or higher total serum bilirubin. Your ALT is certainly elevated enough to warrant further investigation. There is something injuring your liver and further testing is necessary to diagnose your condition. Frequently doctors will order viral hepatitis tests to rule out Hep A, B, C etc. Aside from viral hepatitis there are many other liver disorders to consider.

I would check in with your doctor and discuss your concerns with him/her. Being jaundice means there is something going on with your liver. Have you been to the doctor and do they know what is going on??

A lot of different things can cause Jaundice...it can spontaneously occur, and it can occur from different blood-type issues..for instance, my son had it because he has A+ blood but I have O+ and somehow our blood mixed, and the antibodies in my blood attacked his red blood cells :(. It caused him to have what's caused ABO Incompatibility Jaundice...and his levels were dangerously high very soon after birth, which is how they noticed it immediately and were able to identify it.

I have a question. Before/during tax, does anyone experience the jaundice associated with HCV? If so, how long does this last? I do not recall anyone talking about this symptom.
