HiI am a 42 year old male. For past three days my urine has become dark yellow in color and stool is Light yellow. The is a general weakness in the body and appetite has gone down. My mouth is always feeling dry inspite of drinking a lot of water. Can this be jaundice?
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this sudden change in the color of your urine and stool. Jaundice defined by the yellowish coloration of the skin and mucous membranes and not by the way our urine or stool looks. If it were a problem with bilirubin, you would not have the same changes in stool and urine because when it spills sin urine the stools would mot likely lack coloration by the bile.
