Jaundice
This is also referred to as obstructive jaundice and it occurs in the extreme case of gallstone. Jaundice is characterized by the yellow coloration of the skin, mucous membranes, and the white part of the eyes, called sclera, due to the increase in bilirubin in the bloodstream, a yellow pigment that results from the destruction of red blood cells in the blood. Any obstacle on the way of “movement” of bile into the intestine forms a pathological condition called “obstructive jaundice.” Bile begins to accumulate in the bile ducts and gallbladder, enlarging and expanding them. Excess bile is released into the bloodstream, and the body removes it through other routes, including the kidneys and skin. [3]
