causes of jaundice diarrhea in adults
Sometimes, the bilirubin simply canât make it to your digestive tract, where it normally would be removed through your stool. In other cases, there may be too much bilirubin trying to enter the liver at once, or too many red blood cells dying at one time. Jaundice in adults is often indicative of: 1  alcohol abuse. 2  liver infection. 3  liver cancer. 4  cirrhosis (scarring of the liver, usually due to alcohol).
