Question

hepatitis

Answer 1

Hepatitis is characterised by fatigue, malaise, joint aches, abdominal pain, vomiting 2-3 times per day for the first 5 days, loss of appetite, dark urine, fever, hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and jaundice (icterus). Some chronic forms of hepatitis show very few of these signs and only present when the longstanding inflammation has led to the replacement of liver cells by connective tissue; the result is cirrhosis. Certain liver function tests can also indicate hepatitis.

Jaundice, also known as icterus (attributive adjective: "icteric"), is a yellowing of the skin, sclera (the white of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the human body (or the body of another red blooded animal). Usually the concentration of bilirubin in the blood must exceed 2–3 mg/dL for the coloration to be easily visible. Jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow.

Answer 2

The grey color is most likely caused by high bilirubin levels, which happens when your liver is not functioning properly due to the damage to the liver. It may be a symptom of a decompensating liver or an acute outbreak of hepatitis. In either case, please make sure the person affected is seeing a specialist.

Answer 3

Well it's usually through decreased liver function. In fair skinned people decreased liver function will cause whats known as jaundice and makes your skin turn yellow, and in african americans i beileve more ashey.

This is caused because bilirubin is a byproduct of old blood cells that are still present in your system that should not be because the liver sohuld be filtering them out but is not anymore.
