Jaundice in adults should first be treated by identifying the cause and targeting it. For jaundice caused by chronic viral hepatitis, usually hepatocellular jaundice, due to long recurrent episodes of untreated hepatitis, damage to liver function occurs, and the patient also suffers from weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, and aversion to greasy foods, symptomatic treatment such as antiviral and hepatoprotective therapy should be systematically administered. Lamivudine combined with compound glycopyrrolate tablets can be applied. During treatment, attention should be paid to monitoring changes in liver function indicators, and liver-protective drugs can be given intravenously if necessary. For obstructive jaundice caused by obstruction of the biliary system, the obstructing factor needs to be removed. For simple gallbladder stones and bile duct stones, surgical bile duct exploration for stone extraction and gallbladder removal is an option. For tumors in the hepatoportal or duodenal jugular abdomen, an enlarged or radical resection is required. After surgery, attention should be paid to preventing infection and regular review of abdominal ultrasound.
