Hi,
There are many causes for jaundice and it is almost impossible to comment on the cause without knowing the results of the investigations.
The minimum investigations needed would be:
CBC/ESR
Fasting Sugar
Ser. Creatinine
Liver Function tests
Abdominal ultrasound

If possible Viral marker studies like Hepatitis B antigen would help too but the above are a bare minimum required to diagnose and treat jaundice.
Thanks.
