Increased excreta in faeces

Increased excreta in the feces is one of the characteristics of jaundice. Jaundice refers to the yellow staining of the skin, sclera, and membrane due to bilirubin deposition. When the normal serum total bilirubin concentration is 1.7 ~ 1.71 and one minute of bilirubin (both direct bilirubin) is lower than 3.4 umol / L, when the total bilirubin concentration is 34umol / L, the clinical yellow value appears. When the concentration of bilirubin in the serum exceeds the normal range and jaundice is not visible to the naked eye, it is called recessive jaundice. Observation of jaundice should be performed under natural light. It must be distinguished from the yellow staining of the skin caused by taking a lot of alpine, carotene, etc., and it must be distinguished from the accumulation of subconjunctival fat.
