Risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia vary depending on its pathophysiology. Genetic diseases and chemicals that hinder hepatic uptake of bilirubin, increase the bilirubin synthesis rate or decrease the bilirubin conjugation rate are risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia. [9] Examples of drugs include rifampin, sulfa drug and ethinyl estradiol ...
Lethal yellowing (LY) is a phytoplasma disease that attacks many species of palms, including some commercially important species, such as the coconut and date palm.

Gilbert syndrome is associated with decreased cardiovascular health risks. [4] If jaundice is significant phenobarbital may be used, which aids in the conjugation of bilirubin. [1] Gilbert syndrome affects about 5% of people in the United States. [3] Males are more often diagnosed than females. [1]

Aspergillus flavus is found globally as a saprophyte in soils and causes disease on many important agriculture crops. Common hosts of the pathogen are cereal grains, legumes, and tree nuts. Specifically, A. flavus infection causes ear rot in corn and yellow mold in peanuts either before or after harvest. [4]
Jaundice, also known as icterus, is a yellowish or greenish pigmentation of the skin and sclera due to high bilirubin levels. [3] [6] Jaundice in adults is typically a sign indicating the presence of underlying diseases involving abnormal heme metabolism, liver dysfunction, or biliary-tract obstruction. [7]
For example, in Australia, L. stoechas has become a cause for concern; it occurs widely throughout the continent and has been declared a noxious weed in Victoria since 1920. [21] It is regarded as a weed in parts of Spain. [22] Lavenders flourish best in dry, well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils in full sun. [23]
