10 Symptoms of Cholecystitis

Symptom #10: Jaundice
Jaundice is a condition that causes us to become yellow in color. It will affect our skin and our eyes and can be very noticeable, helping doctors to reach a quick diagnosis. It is caused by the presence in the blood of a compound known as bilirubin, which itself is yellow-orange in color.
Jaundice can be caused by a number of things, including cholecystitis. Bilirubin is found in bile, and when the gallbladder is affected, it can cause bilirubin to leak out into the bloodstream. Jaundice is not necessarily dangerous in itself, but it is often a sign of something that is potentially harmful to you.
