Major Symptoms Of Hepatitis C

Jaundice

In severe cases, liver damage (including damage due to hepatitis C) is often associated with jaundice, which is the yellowing of skin and eyes. Although changes in skin, hair, and nail health may be due to poor hemoglobin function, bilirubin is a key concern. This is a substance found in hemoglobin and when the liver is not functioning properly, levels start to accumulate, resulting in the yellow coloration associated with jaundice. When bilirubin builds, changes in the skin aren't the main area of concern. When this occurs, red blood cells, as well as several organs are immediately at risk. In fact, both urine and stool samples can tell a lot about an individual's condition as urine may be dark and stools become lighter in color.
