10. Yellowing of The Skin
Jaundice is the medical term that describes the yellow-coloring of the skin and the mucosae. It is the direct result of an abnormal increase in bilirubin in the bloodstream. It is usually noticeable in the skin, the eyes, and the mouth. It is a non-specific symptom that can be caused by many conditions like viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver damage to name a few.
If left untreated, cholelithiasis can progress to cause acute inflammation of the gallbladder known as cholecystitis. This is a serious condition that can cause many complications such as pancreatitis to occur. If you are experiencing this symptom, you should seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis.
