A member asked:
Theres yellow rings around my eyes. i have so symptoms- what could this mean (fatty liver disease,etc.)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few thoughts: Is it new? If within the sclera/whites of the eye: could be pinguecula. If within iris: could be sign of Wilson's disease. Around the eyes could be a sign of swelling (allergy, kidney problems, medication side effects etc.). Diffuse scleral yellowing or skin yellowing could be several liver abnormalities, pancreatic disease, or blood disorder involving red cells or platelets.
