 ==Causes of Icterus==
 ===Pre-hepatic Jaundice===
-Also sometimes called '''Haemolytic Icterus'''. This condition results from increased red blood cell destruction, overwhelming the capacity of the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] to conjugate and excrete the bilirubin which is released into the plasma.  The majority of the bilirubin is therefore '''unconjugated''' and, unlike the conjugated form, this cannot be excreted by the [[Urinary System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|kidney]].
