    Jaundice can be classified based on whether the elevated bilirubin is conjugated or unconjugated. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is usually caused by excessive breakdown of red blood cells which overwhelms the liver's ability to conjugate and excrete bilirubin. This type of jaundice is classified as prehepatic, hepatic, or interference jaundice based on where in the pathway the defect occurs.
