The general length of hospitalization for jaundice and hepatitis is mainly related to the specific cause of the disease and liver function damage, and cannot be generalized. If the jaundice is caused by hepatitis, which indicates more liver cell damage and more serious condition, it usually requires bilirubin and transaminases to basically return to normal before discharge, and the specific time varies from person to person. While the most common cause of jaundice is viral infection, acute jaundice hepatitis has a good prognosis and is usually discharged in about 2-4 weeks of treatment. In the case of drug-induced jaundice, the treatment time is relatively longer, taking about 2-3 months to be discharged. Patients with jaundice need to continue treatment after discharge, and some patients even need to take medication for life. If a patient with hepatitis shows signs of jaundice, he must be hospitalized in a timely manner at a hospital’s hepatology department or infectious disease department, and must not take medication on his own to avoid further liver damage.
