Do eyes look yellow with liver mets?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
JAUNDICE: The whites of both eyes appearing uniformly yellow is a sign of jaundice, which is the buidup of bilirubin in the blood. This can be due to a large number of liver and hematological conditions. Common causes include gilbert's syndrome, hepatitis, and bile duct obstruction. Various medications can also lead to jaundice. Liver metastases, if extensoivem are an uncommon cause.
