Can jaundice be cured?

The cause of jaundice in cats is high bilirubin in the blood serum. When there are abnormalities in liver metabolism and exocrine secretion, this can cause excess bilirubin, which we call primary hepatic jaundice. Primary hepatic jaundice is the most common type of jaundice in cats. These primary liver diseases include: acute toxic hepatitis, biliary hepatitis, cirrhosis and feline fatty liver; other diseases that can cause liver damage include: diabetes, feline infectious peritonitis, tumours and feline leukaemia virus infection. Identification of the cause and treatment of the disease is possible as long as it is detected in time.
