  • Title: The incidence and causes of postoperative jaundice. A prospective study.
    Author: Evans C, Evans M, Pollock AV.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1974 Jul; 46(7):520-5. PubMed ID: 4458773.
    Abstract:
    Jaundice often complicates recovery after surgery. We have studied 180 patients undergoing 218 major operations and found an incidence of 3.7% severe jaundice and 16.5% mild jaundice. The causes of the jaundice were diverse, but the most important was a bilirubin overload (primarily from blood transfusion) which could not be excreted effectively by a liver whose cellular metabolism was disturbed. We found no evidence of a relationship between halothane and liver damage.
