Jaundice is a medical condition that results in yellowish discoloration of the skin and on the whites of eyes. This condition is usually common and mostly temporary in new-born kids. But, jaundice in children can indicate some serious medical issues. Jaundice is caused by the accumulation of a substance called bilirubin in the bloodstream. It usually passes through the liver and is excreted out from the body. In Ayurveda, this condition is described as Kamala.
Causes of Jaundice in Children
Jaundice is caused by the condition called hyperbilirubinemia, where the blood levels of bilirubin is abnormally elevated. Bilirubin is usually produced by the breakdown of red blood cells. When the levels of bilirubin in the blood increase, there will be yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes.
Symptoms of Jaundice in Children
The important signs of jaundice are:
- Yellowing of the skin and of the whites of the eyes.
- Pale stools

Ayurvedic Reference of Jaundice in Children-Kamala
Types of Jaundice in Children
In new-borns, jaundice is observed usually. It is commonly because an infant’s liver will not be fully developed to break down and excrete bilirubin properly. But jaundice in older children can generally be divided into following three types:
- Obstructive jaundice: It is due to blockage of the bile duct between the pancreas and the liver
- Hepatocellular jaundice: It occurs when there is some liver disease or damage to liver cells.
- Hemolytic jaundice: It develops when the breakdown of red blood cells becomes abnormal which leads to increased bilirubin levels in the blood.
