Jaundice
When your skin and the whites of the eyes take on a yellowish tint, known as jaundice, it means that you have a build up of bilirubin, or bile pigment, in the blood. The bilirubin is not being excreted from the body. In severe cases of jaundice, brain functioning might cease.
The amount of yellow coloring will be determined by how much bile pigment gets trapped in the body. Ultimately, treating liver disease will help with jaundice. While a badly damaged liver may never fully regenerate, jaundice will decrease as the liver regains health and proper functioning. However, you must remember that even when the jaundice disappears, it doesn’t mean that the liver disease has been cured.
