Abstract: Icterus
can be the result of wide spectrum of causes, ranging from benign and
self-limited conditions to life threatening ones. Some of these causes are
curable with early diagnosis and early treatment and some, such as viral
hepatitis can be controlled to some degree with supportive treatments, and in
these patients it is important to consider preventive treatments in order to
stop transmission. In a cross sectional – descriptive, study 105 cases of
inpatients with icterus have been studied. Data have been collected by using
patients file and results have been inserted in a question aired and data have
been analyzed by using spss, chi-square statistical software. 16 final
diagnosis generally have been suggested in this research which are
respectively: acute hepatitis B 20.9 %, Chronic hepatitis B 13.3 %, Cirrhosis
13.3 %, Intra hepatic cholestasis 12.38 %, Drug induced hepatitis 8.6 %,
Infectious mono nucleuses, CMV 7.6 %, post hepatic cholestasis hepatitis 5.71%,
autoimmune hepatitis 4.8 %, hepatitis C 3.6 %, Hepatocellular carcinoma 3.6 %,
unknown causes of hepatitis 1.9% and Wilson disease, hemochromatosis,
hepatic hemangioma, hepatitis A and alcoholic hepatitis in 0.9% were
found. By determining the prevalence of the causes of icter and using some
clinical evidence and laboratory tests, we can diagnose the main cause of it
and use suitable medical treatment to decrease the mortality and morbidity of
the disease.
