Jaundice is the most common of all liver disorders. It is a condition in which yellow discoloration of skin and mucous membrane occurs. The yellow color is a result of the increase in the level of bilirubin (a bile pigment) in the blood. This pigment, normally present in the blood because of the breakdown of hemoglobin, is filtered through liver and excreted in faeces. The excessive accumulation of bile pigment is usually due to liver disease or hepatitis.

Symptoms:

Extreme weakness Headache Loss of appetite Severe constipation Yellow discoloration of eyes and skin
