Jaundice: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Nutritional Supplements

Since jaundice is mostly caused by cancer or liver damages, therapies for these conditions tend to limit the ability of your body to process nutrients. Also, loss of appetite would increase the risks of nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, ask your dietitian or healthcare provider about any nutritional supplements to compensate for the loss. Otherwise, your body will not have sufficient nutrients for the immune system to fight against bacteria and virus that is causing the condition. In most cases, they would recommend a particular supplement like B-complex vitamins or multivitamins that can be used on a daily basis. [12]
