Hepatitis

A known sign of hepatitis is jaundice, which is an accumulation of a chemical called "bilirubin" in the body's tissues. Possible to see a yellow color in the skin, urine and especially around the whites of the eyes.

Four Common Hepatitis Symptoms:
1. Jaundice: This is the classic symptom of hepatitis.when the liver is damaged it's unable to do its normal job and the chemical accumulates in the blood and starts to leak out into body tissue. When enough of this chemical accumulates it's possible to see a yellow color in the skin, urine and especially around the whites of the eyes.

2. Loss of Appetite: called anorexia, is often the first symptom of acute hepatitis. Sometimes this symptom lasts for a very short time before being replaced by nausea and vomiting.

3. Fatigue: Fatigue is a debilitating tiredness and is a big source of frustration for people with liver disease. When the liver is damaged, feelings of extreme weakness is common.

4. Muscle and Joint Aches: Pain in the muscles and joints can last from days to weeks and are more common in acute hepatitis than in chronic hepatitis.
