Common symptoms associated with jaundice are yellowing of the skin, [[nausea]], and [[vomiting]]. Specific symptoms will depend on the underlying cause of jaundice. Patients may present with [[fever]], [[anorexia]], [[dark urine]], [[fatigue]], [[pruritis]], [[right upper quadrant pain]]. A detailed history of [[alcohol]] use, [[Blood transfusion|blood transfusions]], history of [[Hepatitis|viral hepatitis]] and family history of [[Hepato-biliary diseases|liver disease]] is recommended for all the [[Patient|patients]].
