More severe.
Haemolytic jaundice manifests mainly as a yellowish staining of the skin and mucous membranes, often mild, light lemon yellow, without itching of the skin and often with pale skin due to anaemia. When acute, it often presents with sudden chills, fever, headache, vomiting, aching limbs, and varying degrees of oliguria, anuria, haemoglobinuria, urine mostly soy sauce coloured, and in severe cases is complicated by acute renal failure, which can be life-threatening.
The treatment of haemolytic jaundice is based on the removal of the cause, i.e. the treatment of the primary disease. In addition, attention should be paid to the removal of the causative factors, such as the discontinuation of drugs that trigger haemolysis. In acute attacks, symptomatic treatment such as anti-shock, protection of renal function and plasma replacement is required.
