Symptoms Of Pancreatitis To Look Out For

Jaundice

Jaundice describes when an individual develops a yellow hue or tint to their skin or the whites of their eyes due to an accumulation of bilirubin in their body. The hemoglobin molecules inside of red blood cells that have died are recycled inside of the liver and are synthesized into bilirubin. Bilirubin is then concentrated inside of the gallbladder to produce bile, which is a substance required for the intestines to digest fatty foods properly. A pancreatitis patient may have developed this infection because they have an obstruction of some sort in the ducts that carry both digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder into the small intestine. When bile is prevented from draining into the small intestine, it builds up in the blood and other organs. Bile and bilirubin are both substances with a potent yellow pigmentation, which causes jaundice.
