Jaundice

One of the many typical signs of Hepatitis E is "jaundice," which is the medical term for a yellowing of the skin and eyes. Jaundice is not a disease in and of itself, but it can be a symptom of a variety of illnesses. Jaundice appears when your body has an excessive amount of bilirubin. The liver produces bilirubin, a yellow pigment, as a result of the breakdown of dead red blood cells. The liver normally gets rid of bilirubin and old red blood cells.

Additionally, jaundice may be an indication of a serious problem with your pancreas, liver, gallbladder, or red blood cells. An infection, an autoimmune condition, significant blood loss, substances such as drugs or alcohol, or prescription medications can all cause this liver inflammation. Hepatitis E viral infection causes this particular form of liver inflammation. The hepatitis E virus can be warded off with regular vaccination. Therefore make sure you're immunized against hepatitis E.
