Jaundice Awareness | When to See a Hepatologist Jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin) is a sign of an underlying liver or biliary disorder—not a disease itself. It should never be ignored. Seek medical evaluation if you notice yellow eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, persistent fever, severe abdominal pain, itching, or jaundice lasting more than a few days. Avoid self-medication or herbal remedies, as some can worsen liver injury. Early diagnosis with appropriate blood tests and imaging can identify the cause and allow timely treatment. Consult a hepatologist promptly for unexplained or persistent jaundice, and seek emergency care immediately if jaundice is accompanied by confusion, excessive drowsiness, bleeding, or severe vomiting. Early recognition and specialist care can prevent complications and improve outcomes. #liver #fattyliver #jaundice #liverdoctorpunjab #mohali #chandigarh Jul 7, 2026 Call now
