How jaundice appear in cirrhosis?

Jaundice in cirrhosis appears due to the liver's impaired ability to process and excrete bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. As the liver becomes scarred and its function declines, bilirubin levels in the blood rise, leading to the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Additionally, cirrhosis can disrupt bile flow, further contributing to the accumulation of bilirubin. This condition often indicates advanced liver disease and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as dark urine and pale stools.
