| Additional Information | Many things can cause jaundice. The concern is with infectious causes that might be passed on by donation. |
| Reason for Change | In 'Obligatory' the link to 'Hepatitis B' has been changed to 'Hepatitis of Unknown Origin'. There have been other minor changes to improve clarity and to avoid the unnecessary exclusion of donors. |
