A member asked:
How likely is jaundice the cause of slight yellow discolouration of skin in certain areas if whites of eyes remain bright white? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
VERY UNLIKELY: since the "sclera" ("whites") of your eyes are the most SENSITIVE indicator of systemic jaundice!! Hope this helps! Dr Z
