Symptoms, conditions and causes
What is the cause of jaundice?
Jaundice is a condition where your skin and the whites of your eyes turn yellow. This is caused by bilirubin (yellow pigment) backing up into the skin. Bilirubin comes from the breakdown of red blood cells.
Symptoms:
Yellow pigmentation
Dark urine
Pale stool
Abdominal pain
Itching
Fatigue
Vomiting
Flu-like symptoms
Sleeping problems
Cause #1: Liver problems
If your liver is not functioning properly or is damaged, this can cause jaundice. This is because your liver, if damaged, can not clear out the bilirubin (yellow-orange pigment) from your blood, which causes the coloration of your skin. Supporting your liver will help to get rid of bilirubin and resolve the condition.
