What Causes Yellowish Staining Of The Sclerae?
Hi, I have very light yellow Sclera and primarily only bottom half of both eyes since last 6 days. But hands and skin is fine. I don t have fever and even no digestion issue. I feel enough hungry also. Please suggest that should I go ahead for Liver function tests. Thanks

Hello,
Yellow Sclera is condition that causes your skin or the whites of your eyes to turn yellow. It happens when you have too much of a substance called bilirubin in your blood. These can be cause by problem with your liver, gallbladder, or pancreas. You should see a doctor, your doctor will give you a blood test to measure the level of bilirubin in your blood and some other test to see what’s causing your jaundice.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
