What causes yellow eyes

Patient's question:

My son's eyes are yellow, and his total bilirubin is high. After a thorough examination, there is no liver disease. Worried about his health, I want to know what is causing the yellow eyes?

Doctor's answer:

The color of bilirubin is orange-yellow. When bilirubin levels are high in the blood, it can cause jaundice in the sclera, skin, mucous membranes, and other tissues and body fluids. The primary consideration is the possibility of jaundice, and further careful examination and treatment are recommended. For the patient, if the liver disease condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. In addition, the patient needs to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
