Carotenemia is a common benign pediatric condition of yellowing of the skin and elevated beta-carotene levels in the blood. The condition is usually caused by excessive beta-carotene intake but is also more rarely associated with a few serious metabolic disorders. Carotenemia caused by high beta-carotene intake does not have serious sequelae; discoloration remits with dietary modification.
胡萝卜素血症是一种常见的小儿良性病症，表现为皮肤发黄且血液中β-胡萝卜素水平升高。该病症通常由β-胡萝卜素摄入过量引起，但也较少与一些严重的代谢紊乱有关。因高β-胡萝卜素摄入导致的胡萝卜素血症不会产生严重后遗症；通过调整饮食，皮肤变色会消退。
