When bilirubin builds up in body tissues and skin, it leads to a condition known as jaundice, characterized by a yellowing of the skin and eyes. This accumulation can occur due to liver dysfunction, bile duct obstructions, or hemolysis (increased breakdown of red blood cells). Elevated bilirubin levels can indicate underlying health issues that may require further investigation and treatment. Prompt medical evaluation is essential to address the underlying causes and prevent complications.
