Symptom #3: Jaundice
We are often able to tell at a glance that somebody is unwell. The color of the skin, in particular, can be a dead giveaway and can even be used to diagnose specific problems. If the skin and/or eyes appear yellow, though, then it is a clear indicator that you have jaundice.
Jaundice is a condition that tells us that there is a problem with the liver. It is caused by the presence of more bilirubin than usual. This is a waste product of the body that is usually broken down by the liver. With the liver not functioning as it should, so there is more bilirubin than usual and its yellow tinge is what gives jaundice its color.
