What are the symptoms of icteric hepatitis?

Patients with jaundice hepatitis will have symptoms similar to those of a cold when they first become ill, such as fever, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, yellow urine, and pain in the liver area.

1. Urine is yellow like tea : Patients with icteric hepatitis all have symptoms of yellow urine. Initially the urine is light yellow in color, which gradually darkens day by day, becoming as thick as tea or soybean oil; then the skin and sclera turn yellow. The reason why urine color becomes darker is that the hepatitis virus causes liver cell damage, affecting the metabolism of bilirubin and causing more bilirubin to enter the blood.

2. Pain in the liver area : It is called icteric hepatitis, which will definitely cause liver damage. The location of the pain is in the right upper abdomen. The reason for the symptom of icteric hepatitis such as pain in the liver area is that the hepatitis virus causes the liver to swell, increasing the tension of the liver capsule and causing inflammation to spread to the liver ligaments and the surrounding tissues.

3. Fever: When patients with jaundice hepatitis have fever symptoms, many people will misdiagnose it as a cold and fever, which delays the timely treatment of the disease. The cause of fever is hepatocellular necrosis, liver dysfunction, decreased detoxification and excretion function, or viremia.
