Symptoms That are Frequently Seen with Hepatitis......
- Jaundice.. this is an accumulation of a Chemical called bilurubin in the body tissue, normally the liver processes this chemical as a waste product but when the liver is damaged its unable to do its normal job and this results in the accumulation of the chemical in the blood, which starts to leak out into the body tissue. when much of this chemical accumulates, its results in symptoms like yellowing of the skin color, urine and around the white eyes. This isthe classic symptoms of jaundice.
- Fatigue.. fatigue refers to a draining tiredness, which is the first symptoms of acute hepatitis.
