Abstract
The terms jaundice and icterus are used interchangeably and refer to a clinical sign characterized by deposition of bilirubin pigment in tissues, resulting in a yellowish discolouration of these tissues. Jaundice can be categorized as pre-hepatic, hepatic or post-hepatic. This chapter covers relevant history, physical examination, diagnostic tests and differential diagnosis
