    Jaundice can be classified based on whether it involves conjugated or unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia refers to elevated levels of bilirubin that has been conjugated by the liver before entering the bloodstream and indicates impairment of the liver's ability to excrete bilirubin. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia involves elevated levels of bilirubin that has not been conjugated by the liver and indicates excessive breakdown of red blood cells or impaired uptake and conjugation of bilirubin in the liver. Some cases involve both conjugated and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
