AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISJaundice  results  from  accumulation  of  bilirubin  in  body  tissues;  the  cause  may  be  hepatic  or  nonhepatic.Hyperbilirubinemia  may  be  due  to  abnormalities  in  the  formation,  transport,  metabolism,  or  excretion  of  bilirubin.Persistent  mild  elevations  of  the  aminotransferase  levels  are  common  in  clinical  practice  and  caused  most  often  by  nonalcoholic  fatty  liver  disease  (NAFLD).Evaluation  of  obstructive  jaundice  begins  with  ultrasonography  and  is  usually  followed  by  cholangiography.
