Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Your main query is , causes of jaundice , there are so many causes as,
Direct jaundice,
Indirect jaundice,
drug induced ( rifampicin, probenecid),
inherited,
hemolytic disorders,
Viral hepatitis as A , B , C. D, & E
In jaundice liver enzymes level increases so get in blood examination for Serum bilirubin, AST, ALT, AMYLASE, .
If still cause is not found then LIVER BIOPSY.
Consult physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
