" you should not drink,watch what meds you take even off the shelf. start eating healthy and take milk thistle. I have never been yellow but my urine was very dark. Your liver needs a rest. I would immangine they would start you on tx right away. Take no iron or high iron foods. "

" My post seems to have disappeared. Jaundice is caused by too much bile in your blood stream that your liver is not removing. I don't have a yellow parlour, or dark urine, but I'm developing wolf eyes. I keep hoping to become a shape shifter, but I think it is do to cirrhosis. How long it lasts would be determined by how soon your liver recovers. Your liver can rejuvenate itself if given the chance, unless it is scarred like mine. (or maybe I p.m.ed my response, my brain is like a sieve.)

" When my oldest son was born he's billirubin was slightly elevated,(liver enzymes) causing a bit of jaundice in him..It happens sometimes after birth, he had to put under special lights in the nursery, but when I got to take him home his pediatrician told me to let him lay in full sun light through a window just in a diaper for a lil while each day, it helps getting the jaundice out of his system..just an idea for you..
