A 58-year-old man presents with progressive jaundice for 3 weeks, yet without fever, abdominal pain, or any obvious history suggestive of hepatitis  making this a puzzling clinical scenario that challenges routine diagnostic thinking.

This Clinical Case Discussion takes participants through a step-by-step biochemical and clinical approach to decoding the case, identifying hidden clues, interpreting investigations, and narrowing down differential diagnoses to reach the final diagnosis.

Designed for medical and healthcare learners, the session emphasizes clinical reasoning, laboratory interpretation, and the practical application of biochemistry in patient care. Join us as we uncover how even the absence of symptoms can become the most important diagnostic clue.
