Jaundice
If hepatic steatosis progresses, a familiar sign of liver disease may develop. The whites of the eyes and the skin may turn yellow, which is known as jaundice. Urine may also appear darker.
Jaundice occurs when there is an excess of bilirubin in the system. This yellow pigment released by the breakdown of dead red blood cells is normally dispensed by the liver, along with old red blood cells. Liver disease can prevent this breakup, distributing it in tissue.
