Whether it is a disease of the gall bladder or the liver itself, jaundice is one of the main symptoms of liver disease. When the skin becomes jaundiced, there is most likely an issue with the Liver or Gall Bladder. Jaundice can either turn the skin yellow or orange depending on the type.
The whites of the eyes often turn yellow. Jaundice is the result of the liver not properly breaking down old blood and transforming it into bile. It is important to consult medical doctor to identify if the jaundice is being caused by acute hepatitis or severe infection in the gall bladder. Symptoms could last several weeks and they could include the following:
1) Flu like symptoms
2) Light coloured stool
3) Yellowing of the skin and eyes
4) Dark urine
5) Extreme fatigue
6) Nausea
7) Vomiting and abdominal pain
One should also take note that a Chronic Active carrier could continue to damage the liver. Symptoms of chronic liver disease include malaise, weight loss, loss of appetites, and often jaundice. Although passive carriers show no symptoms, they could infect others. Milk thistle is traditionally recommended by health care providers for chronic liver disease.
