Jaundice is a symptom of hepatitis, jaundice causes your skin and your eyes appear yellow. The yellow color of the skin and eyes are caused by an excess amount of bilirubin.

Jaundice is caused by an increasing amount of bilirubin in the blood. When red blood cells break down, the heme in their hemoglobin is converted to bilirubin. The bilirubin is processed by the liver where it is eliminated in bile. The hemoglobin is in the red cells of the blood that carries oxygen in your cells. As red blood cells die your body builds new cells to replace them and the old ones are processed by the liver.
If any reason the red blood cells die rate faster than as usual, bilirubins can collect in the blood and cause jaundice. Other causes of jaundice are anemia and other diseases which affect the liver such as malaria, yellow fever, typhoid and tuberculosis. Jaundice that is present at the time of birth suggests a more serious cause of the jaundice. In fact, bilirubin levels in the blood become raised in almost all babies during the first few days following birth, and jaundice becomes more than half babies.
