Mild yellow eyes and skin (jaundice)
Mild yellow eyes and skin (jaundice) is a clinical finding that suggests the levels of bilirubin, a pigmented break-down product of red blood cells, is beginning to build up in the body. Bilirubin build up can occur because either the body is breaking down excess red blood cells or a person is not clearing the break-down product at a fast enough, normal rate.
