Medical Definition of Chronic idiopathic jaundice

An inherited disorder (autosomal recessive) that is characterised by long-standing mild jaundice. This occurs secondary to an abnormality in the transport of bilirubin from the liver to the biliary system. This leads to an accumulation of bilirubin in the liver. Avoidance of alcohol and medications which can affect the liver is important.
