Jaundice, abd pain: Depends on the virus and if it is acute or chronic infection. Common symptoms of acute hepatitis include a yellow color to the skin (jaundice) or eyes (icterus), abdominal pain, nausea, clay colored stools (acholic stools) and tea colored urine. Many people have no symptoms with hepatitis a. People with chronic infection may also be without symptoms. Talk to your provider about your symptoms.
