The first phase of many other diseases like uncontrolled fever can cause jaundice if appropriate care is not taken, however the first phase of jaundice is not communicable. Jaundice is a non-communicable disease as it occurs due to 3 main reasons that are non-communicable.

1) Excessive breakdown of red blood cells,

2) Impairment f liver cell function, and

3) Blockage of the bile tubes.
