Final answer:

Hepatic jaundice can be caused by alcoholism, drug-induced liver injury, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hepatic jaundice can be caused by several factors including alcoholism, drug-induced liver injury, viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis. These factors can lead to inflammation and damage to the liver, resulting in a buildup of bilirubin and subsequent jaundice. Other factors such as infection, trauma, inflammation, stress; genetics, aging, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies; and diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity do not directly cause hepatic jaundice.
