Liver.<\/p>\n<p>Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a waste product that is produced when red blood cells break down. The liver is responsible for removing bilirubin from the blood and excreting it in the bile. When the liver is not functioning properly, bilirubin can build up in the blood, causing jaundice.<\/p>\n<p>The pancreas is an organ that produces digestive enzymes and hormones. It is not directly involved in the production or removal of bilirubin.<\/p>\n<p>The stomach is an organ that stores food and helps to break it down. It is not directly involved in the production or removal of bilirubin.<\/p>\n<p>The kidneys are organs that filter waste products from the blood and excrete them in the urine. They are not directly involved in the production or removal of bilirubin.<\/p>\n<p>Jaundice can be caused by a number of things, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Liver disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis<\/li>\n<li>Gallbladder disease<\/li>\n<li>Blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia<\/li>\n<li>Certain medications<\/li>\n<li>Cancer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have jaundice, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and get treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Stomach&#8221;
