Patient's question:
What are the clinical diagnostic symptoms of jaundice hepatitis? Is it scary? It's said that liver disease has no symptoms, but it's really sad to have jaundice, it looks so bad!Doctor's answer:
Jaundice refers to a decrease in the concentration of bilirubin in the blood, causing yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membranes, sclera, and body fluids. In the pre-judgment period, the onset is usually gradual, with symptoms such as chills and fever. The main symptoms include fatigue, reduced appetite, nausea, dry vomiting, hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, constipation, or vomiting. Some cases may exhibit prominent upper respiratory symptoms similar to a cold. The signs during this period are not significant, and some cases may show superficial lymphadenopathy. By the end of this period, the color of urine becomes diluted, followed by the reappearance of yellow discoloration in the sclera and skin.
