Is the jaundice caused by hepatitis? Can it be transmitted to children?

With the popularization of scientific knowledge in recent years, more and more superstitions have been completely eliminated. For example, knowing the future by looking at each other is a complete superstition. Because a person's appearance is completely derived from genetic genes, it can not predict the future direction of life.

However, through the face can initially judge whether a person is healthy or not, this mainly depends on the face and symptoms!

There are many liver disease patients in the first visit, has not described in detail their discomfort, doctors through the observation of their face, the initial judgment of which part of the body is the problem, this is because liver disease can affect the patient's face performance. Here we should focus on a kind of symptoms called "jaundice". After the development of multiple chronic liver diseases to a serious stage, jaundice symptoms can appear.

For example, high incidence and more serious viral hepatitis, including chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C, etc., among which the incidence rate of chronic hepatitis B is the highest, and the latter is also relatively large. With the continuous development of hepatitis B, liver metabolism bilirubin disorders, can cause jaundice symptoms, such as sclera yellow, complexion yellow and so on!

However, jaundice is not only a factor of hepatitis, there is a more serious disease, it is cancer! For example, in the liver, gallbladder, bile duct and pancreatic cancer, can affect the outflow of bile, and eventually induce obstructive jaundice!

So the problem comes, adults appear jaundice symptoms, will it be transmitted to the newborn?

Neonatal jaundice is a high incidence population, but in most cases, neonatal jaundice is physiological, breast milk type. There are a small number of newborns, will appear pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice, breast milk jaundice, is usually not related to heredity and infection. Take breast milk jaundice for example, experts believe that the appearance of the symptoms, and neonatal bilirubin liver circulation is related.

The cause of pathological jaundice is more complex, the most common factor is maternal and infant blood group incompatibility, manifested as ABO hemolysis. In addition, some experts believe that genetic factors are also the cause of pathological jaundice, such as G6PD deficiency, which will cause newborn hemolysis;

Therefore, it is not the jaundice that has been infected to the child, but because the newborn physiology, breast milk and genetic genes affect the baby.

However, in children with pathological jaundice, there is a situation, it is directly related to infection!

If the mother suffered from hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other viral hepatitis diseases, but did not receive scientific treatment, pregnant also did not tell the doctor truthfully. Lead to mother and infant block not in time, the virus may be transmitted to the child, resulting in the birth of the newborn infected with hepatitis B virus. In this case, affected by the low immunity of newborns, hepatitis B is very easy to appear, leading to jaundice symptoms!

In addition, if the child is born, one of the parents infected with hepatitis B virus, in the process of long-term contact with the child, may also lead to the transmission of the virus. For example, sharing personal belongings with children, including toothbrushes, eyebrow scrapers and razors that may carry blood, the virus can enter the body with blood and damaged skin and mucosa, thus inducing infection.

Generally speaking, jaundice itself is not infectious, the real cause of infection is hepatitis virus. Therefore, if the parents have viral hepatitis, in order to prevent the transmission of the virus to their children, personal belongings should be completely separated in life. At the same time, if there is a family planning, we should prepare for pregnancy, pregnancy and childbirth according to the doctor's requirements, so as to reduce the possibility of children infected with virus.
