Deficiency of which vitamin causes jaundice?
According to experts, jaundice occurs when there is too much of a substance called bilirubin in the body, which affects the liver, thus weakening the ability of the liver to function. Bilirubin spreads in the body due to which the person becomes a victim of jaundice. According to health experts, some vitamins are responsible for the problem of increased bilirubin and jaundice. According to experts, this problem can also occur due to a deficiency of Vitamin K in the body.
Vitamin K deficiency causes blockage of the bile duct, preventing bilirubin from leaving the liver. At the same time, deficiency of Vitamin K also increases bleeding which leads to anemia.
Jaundice can also occur due to a deficiency of Vitamin B12. When there is a deficiency of Vitamin B12, there is also a deficiency of red blood cells. And bilirubin is formed when red blood cells begin to be destroyed.
