Jaundice is a result of hyperbilirubinemia, where there is a higher-than-normal amount of bilirubin in the blood. This condition frequently occurs in acute hepatitis due to the liver's inability to properly process and eliminate bilirubin. Thus, patients with acute hepatitis often develop jaundice as a symptom of the underlying liver dysfunction.
