Fatigue
Sometimes, jaundice is accompanied by extreme tiredness. This fatigue can be severe enough to interfere with a person's quality of life and prevent them from performing their usual day-to-day activities. The presence of fatigue depends on the cause of the jaundice.
When a person experiences fatigue with jaundice, it commonly occurs when the condition is caused by a virus. Extreme fatigue may also be a symptom of the underlying cause of the jaundice, and not the jaundice itself.
