Talk:Jaundice

message: Hi! I am a new wiki editor and would love to get advice from more experienced editors. I felt like this article is really hard to understand due to a general lack of logical flow, poor organization, excess medical jargon, superfluous/repetitive information. Thus, I would love to know your thoughts on some changes I plan to make on this article. 
Firstly, I would like to improve the flow and organization as follows: Definition (including summary of article), Etiology (including risk factors, triggers, genetics, virology, etc.), Pathophysiology, Clinical Signs & Symptoms, Diagnostics (subheadings: imaging, labs), Treatment, Prevention, Prognosis, Complications, Epidemiology (Incidence, prevalence, etc.), Special Populations (Neonates), Historical Significance (early discoveries, historical figures, etc.), References.
Secondly, I would like to add more current literature/references. 
I plan to work on this article for the next few weeks, so it will definitely be a work in progress. Thanks in advance for your input.Taglel (talk) 19:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Does not explain very well what the actual cause of jaundice is. It starts trailing off like my biology teacher and doesn't conclude or simplify the information. I went to another website and I understand instantly the cause of jaundice. IMPROOOOVEE!!! Also, under symptoms it doesn't actually give a symptom. It just rambles on about jaundice eye's in poetry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.65.217 (talk) 17:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: "Patients often complain of severe itching or "pruritus". Often, only Bryanton's triangle will remain unscratched. Bryanton's triangle is a single triangle of skin on the patient's back that the patient is unable to reach, and therefore scratch. It varies in size depending on the flexibility of the patient, and occasionally presents as a diamond in lower BMI patients."
I looked this up on Google, and while it appears that there is no such thing as a "Bryanton's Triangle" there is something called "Bryant's Triangle" which isn't located anywhere on the back.  Although the description they give sounds reasonable, whatever it is, it is not "Bryanton's Triangle". 75.120.169.120 (talk) 18:38, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The table is good, but do you think we should add other tests in to determine if it is pre/intra or post hepatic? For example alkaline phosphatase raised in post hepatic, and Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase raised in intra hepatic. Or break down products of bilirubin, for example urobilinogen being decreased in the urine of patients with posthepatic jaundice.82.10.78.130 (talk) 09:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: It is proposed that Jaundice be part of the trial of a new template; see the green strip at the top of Pain where it has been in place for a couple of months. The purpose of this project is to encourage readers to edit, while equipping them with the basic tools. If you perceive a problem with this, or have any suggestions for improvement, please discuss at the project talk page. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 10:07, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

I know Wikipedia is not censored, but at the same time, its not uncommon in many medical textbook images for the facial features of a patient to be hidden/blurred for privacy reasons. In this case, the patient's entire face is shown - Should we at least aim to avoid revealing the patient's identity, even if this picture does a good job in showing the actual condition in a hospital setting? Would covering up the patient's eyes impair the reader's understanding of the appearance of jaundice?

message: The table of labs currently in the causes section may perhaps be better placed in the differential/diagnostic section, as it seems to be a separate topic. I envision the "causes/etiology" section to condensed to a summary paragraph and then list of diseases format, while the diagnostic section can detail more regarding specific labs, imaging, and differential.Taglel (talk) 13:44, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

message: I propose merging Cholemia into Jaundice. All the sources I can find seem to use the two terms more-or-less interchangeably, sometimes even with constructions like "jaundice (cholemia)", and Cholemia is tiny and undercited.
This article is long enough as it is and would distract readers from the main purpose of this article. 2601:642:4D80:9280:B9ED:4FD0:B8B1:1F4C (talk) 09:43, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Support merge proposal; this seems to be a rare synonym for cholestatic jaundice; as this isn't a dictionary, we don't need a page for each term. Readers arriving at Cholemia would be better served by being redirect to the information on Jaundice. Klbrain (talk) 17:26, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
