Jaundice
It is advisable to seek medical attention when the skin and the whites of the eyes take on a yellowish tone, a sign that characterizes jaundice.
Jaundice is not a disease in itself, but a sign that bilirubin is building up in the body, which may be due to disorders of the liver, the bile ducts, or the blood.
Other possible signs: Dark urine, light-colored stools, or fatigue, depending on the underlying cause.
Which specialist assesses it? Gastroenterology and internal medicine usually take charge of identifying its origin, with support from other areas when necessary. With a yellowish coloring of the skin or eyes, it is advisable to seek a medical evaluation promptly.
