Mechanical jaundice is a condition characterized by obstructive disorders in the biliary system, posing a diagnostic challenge that requires advanced visualization techniques and laboratory tests for accurate diagnosis. This article explores the role of biochemical markers, presents an analysis of the algorithm for laboratory diagnosis and visualization techniques in order to stratify patients with jaundice syndrome, and conduct timely and effective conservative treatment with further surgical interventions. A comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm has been developed whose use by emergency physicians at the prehospital and early hospital stages will lead to a rapid and qualitative elimination of biliary obstruction, a reduction in the level of complications, and the achievement of optimal treatment outcomes for patients.
