Difference Between Physiological & Pathological Jaundice. Physiological and pathological jaundice both result in a yellow tint to the skin, whites of the eyes and mucous membranes but are caused by different conditions. Physiological Jaundice. When jaundice occurs in a healthy baby, it is considered physiological jaundice.
The term âjaundice, means âyellow in color and refers to the yellowing of a babyâs skin, owing to the accumulation of orange-coloured bilirubin. Yellow Jaundice is common in healthy new-born babies; about 60% of all babies get physiological jaundice ( normal neonatal jaundice ). Physiological jaundice in newborns will usually peak at day 5 and 6 and then fade within a week.
