Sanatan Behera.


Abstract
Background: Obstructive jaundice can have a number of reasons, the most prevalent of which being choledocholithiasis. Obstructive jaundice patients frequently complain of pruritus, jaundice, pale faeces, dark urine, and yellow skin and eyes. Diagnosis is frequently muddled by abdominal pain. The study's goals were to examine the clinical characteristics of people with obstructive jaundice.
Methods: A prospective research was done at SCB Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha. The study period of this research was three years. In the study, 30 patients made up the sample. All patients who are admitted and are found to have an obstructive pattern of jaundice meet the inclusion criteria.
Results: CBD calculi are the most typical cause of postoperative jaundice. Jaundice is the most typical presenting symptom, followed by appetite loss and weight loss. The most frequent symptoms of benign causes are abdominal discomfort and jaundice.
Conclusion: The clinical profile of patients with obstructive jaundice can be better understood to enable optimal care and enhance survival.

Key words: Obstructive jaundice, benign strictures, bilirubin
